Just so you can picture it: $.50 in Northern India will get you a lice-infested bed, toilets that are overflowing with crap, wild dogs circling the building and barks at all times, and a possible rapist as a roommate. <br>...and yet, I still long to return, and watch the sunrise over Everest, and buy fab silver jewelry for, like, a quarter.AG Ambroulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15047802869910512121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386351153805970839.post-77332284548158270442010-11-20T11:44:53.522-08:002010-11-20T11:44:53.522-08:00Everyone benefits when you derail from a great pur...Everyone benefits when you derail from a great purge. I love this story! And I can't get the picture of you and your hiking in the desert in your skivs out of my head, which pleases me immensely. Burning Man is so jealous. Jumping on the quote bandwagon, here are Rilke's two cents:<br>"I'm too alone in the world, yet not alone enough to make each hour holy. I'm too small in the world, yet not small enough to be simply in your presence, like a thing--just as it is."pixhttp://www.pixiecampbell.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386351153805970839.post-7412912092960395342010-11-19T19:49:28.648-08:002010-11-19T19:49:28.648-08:00it's gets better with age because I can't ...it's gets better with age because I can't stop editing it...Inner Toddlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09187446573678621672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386351153805970839.post-36216958100942257512010-11-19T17:23:47.027-08:002010-11-19T17:23:47.027-08:00I just reread this blog for the 3rd time.

When this happens, concentrate on the present. Cultivate le petit bonheur (the little happiness) until courage returns. Look forward to the beauty of the next moment, the next hour, the promise of a good meal, sleep, a book, a movie, the likelihood that tonight the stars will shine and tomorrow the sun will shine. Sink roots into the present until the strength grows to think about tomorrow.<br><br>Ardis Whitmantaketimefortrainingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386351153805970839.post-14918780237817610412010-11-17T10:35:46.344-08:002010-11-17T10:35:46.344-08:00i linked to your cinema paradiso post today... i c...i linked to your cinema paradiso post today... i cut paper all morning and kept thinking of your sweet sensitive boy and his papercutting therapy.aimeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17007656886393098784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386351153805970839.post-73122176696830793282010-11-17T09:18:10.389-08:002010-11-17T09:18:10.389-08:00Hey Ya-ya, A heartfelt entry.

I always think about this quote (attributed to EB White,but who knows..) "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day".<br><br>Miss you!<br>GailyGaily Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05453444285041716108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386351153805970839.post-39603575686495530892010-11-17T06:38:22.709-08:002010-11-17T06:38:22.709-08:00See?
