indy ahhhh update.
i've been avoiding the internet while i'm in india. mainly because it owns me when i'm in canada. also, i really had no idea what i should write for my first blog post. i'm afraid this post is not going to be the fireworks i hoped for. i've been trying to sift through my thoughts over the last few days, and i realized that i haven't processed much more than the moment i stepped off the plane in delhi. so here are some bullet points thoughts of my first 10 days in india.
+ living with less feels very carefree and wonderful. i love it.
+ life would be complete if i could find love like the taj mahal.
+ poverty seems very unfair. and i often feel frustrated or angry. but usually confused all the time.
+ the ganga river was disgustingly beautiful and strangely sacred.
+ sweating sucks. so does being sick and hitting the bathroom ever half hour.
+ the more i see the love of christ, the more confused i feel about a lot of the old testament and the book of revelation.
+ i secretly wish i was pluralist.
+ the sisters of charity put to shame my entire life of love and service to christ. it's been a joy to work with them.
+ i volunteer at a house which takes care of handicapped children. they often remind me of the christ child when they speak or look at me.
+ jesus is bigger than christianity.
+ india is a gongshow 24/7. i think lisa described it best as "beautiful chaos".
+ i heart the catholic church.
+ the team i came here with is amazing. 18 people is a large group to travel with but i'm glad i came with each and ever one of them.
+ i have good photos to share with you over a pint of beer when i come home.
i'll leave it at that for now.
