in the land of karma
Wade said it, not me, but I figured it was fitting for a title.
Tomorrow we leave for Domkhar where homestays and short-term ISPs await. I am absolutely thrilled. It still hasn't even been a week yet and it already feels as though several lifetimes have passed. Ladakh is so rich, you can feel it with every oxygen deprived breath, every slow and steady step.
I cannot recall another time in my life where I have felt so artistically inspired. Everything I see somehow communicates this language to my spirit, igniting or awakening this intense artistic desire and passion that has been sleeping for too long. All I feel inclined to do is explore, photograph, write, draw. As many of you may know, this past year has been quite difficult for me in the creative sense. To remember why I love to create...
This may sound really lame, and Mom I know you will love it, but this is the truth. Sorry for being a sappy sap face.
I cannot describe the way that I feel, but it closely parallels incredible. Not yet ecstatic, but it is only the first week.
I am beyond excited to continue this journey, and to further uncover what greatness is left within these next 3 months.
Wow.
Ok.
ridiculous.
:)
Love you all exponentially,
Mirise

*Hugs for Mir* I'm so excited to hear from you. I can't wait to hear stories of what it was like to stay with people there; you know my obsession with culture differences. I can't wait to see pictures from you, they might speak better than words. I love Natalie's sketches because it gives me a sensation of what you guys are seeing and feeling. Glad to hear that your artistic chakras are opening up. Love you muchly. ~Ray-Ray
