the day before i left for India


Today I teeter on in the middle of my two worlds

The full moon intensifies

So much reflection and melancholy emotions

I face the spirit and am so curious of this direction I head

What a funny game to play with me

To have so much love and friendship blossom in the past 3 months

And then to depart from it

To reemerge into the other side

To see beauty

To make friendships

To fall in love

Only to depart once again to my Portland roots

The emotional transitions of leading one life in two worlds

It breaks my heart while it runs over

It is the strangest experience

So hard to describe

It has taught me so many useful lessons in beauty of lessened attachment

Yet this time as I go I feel attached

And think this may be one of the more emotional transitions

I am going to miss so many of you so much while I’m in India

Don’t doubt that, despite all the hot Europeans and Israeli men jumping around in the sand hitting volleyballs to each other blocking my view of the ocean waves, I will be thinking of sooooo many of you all the time.

Thank you for the love and friendship you have blessed my life with

You know who you are
