After 30 hours of travel I am home. The trip went well. The toughest part was the car ride from Pune to Mumbai. What is considered normal driving there is crazy – so many near misses. We saw several crushed cars along the road and this did not add to our peace of mind. The airport scene was much better than two years ago, when there were armed guards everywhere and more intimidation and confusion in the check in process. The airport has been remodeled nicely, and check in, immigration and security seemed better organized and easier to go through.
I will be processing the trip and all I learned for some time to come. Right now, I am most happy that I had the chance for such an extensive period of focus on yoga classes, personal practice and study. I am also grateful to have had such such wonderful roommates. We supported and helped each other, laughed together and worked together in community.
I will post again by the end of the week with further reflections and a link for photos!
Welcome Home Honey! We missed you. I’ve enjoyed keeping up with your blogs, but look forward to hearing more this Wednesday. Sooo glad you are home safely and that it was a most worthwhile trip. Love, Janet
Welcome home Karen! I so enjoyed reading about your practice and your rich and wonderful India experience!
I read your blog each night (that you wrote) while I was at work…in the wee hours of the morning, and in the quiet here
I was able to feel a nice connection to you through your writings. I could just imagine you going to the practice hall each day
with so much enthusiasm, and soaking it all up like a sponge….ready to squeeze it out for us here and there, a little at a time.
I really look forward to soaking up some of those teachings from you soon! 🙂
