"Hope is by far one of the most dangerous commitments we make in life."

come what may.

reminders or discoveries?

"May the healing power of loving words calm my mind, comfort my heart, restore my spirit. May the benefit of healing words help me to accept love, help me to enjoy love, help me to give love, today and everyday."
(from a poster in the surgical ward at CMC)



If there is one thing I have learned from India it would be...


Risk everything for love.

He risked everything for us and lost everything, now we can risk everything and receive more than imaginable. How else then can we live? How else then can we be truly alive?

So then maybe it should be said..

Risk everything to love.


Thank you, India.

INDIA.

How about getting off of these antibiotics
How about stopping eating when I'm filled up
How about them transparent dangling carrots
How about that ever elusive kudo

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

How about me not blaming you for everything
How about me enjoying the moment for once
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you
How about grieving it all one at a time

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

The moment I let go of it was
The moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it was
The moment I touched down

How about no longer being masochistic
How about remembering your divinity
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How about not equating death with stopping

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence
