After a long night of sleeping like a rock in the Bangkok Airport, spending today caravaning with muesli in the garden, and reading books in the bookshop, I am finally 200 steps away from my gate to New Delhi.
Yesterday I went into downtown Bangkok, and carelessly forgot what time my plane left. I don't know why I didn't get on the plane- besides the fact I was lost, and got there late, but I believe I wasn't supposed to. I rescheduled for tonight, and will be boarding in 15minutes.
I felt rushed with so many things I was thinking about- worrying about, and not thinking anything productive. Slow down. It was all of yesterday and today- when I finally just relaxed and took some time to wash my hair, and put some clean clothes on. I combed the dreads out of my hair, and ate some whole food, and spend all day migrating to various spots in the airport and tried meditating.
It's only a couple minutes until the day comes where I go to India, and I am almost terrified and gloriously excited at the same time. Everyone has warned me about going, and said to be extremely careful. I will. I'm looking forward to the challenge, and the adventure. And especially the Biriachy- vegetarian stew with hot Non.
The sentence.... "Love is___" has been echoing in my mind. You can fill the blank in with whatever love is to you today. Right now, Love is slowing down to love my body, and mind, and self. And love is being kind and listening to the stranger next to you. Love is sleeping until your body is nourished, and eating good food. Love is patient with yourself.
Love is what I am sending your way. :) Pray for me.
