An Indian Mirage




Traveling through India, experiences are as vast as these images suggest. Many layers of reality coalesce as centuries collide into one pin pointed, yet passing moment. What you see is what surrounds, but how you see it remains your choice and here there is a magic hat full of options. The paths to take are many.

Now in Gokulum, Mysore a routine persists. Each day sewed together by a thread of light-lit joy - that's the Mysore morning. A room filled mat to mat. Who stands next to you you may never know, but their presence is a part of the tide bending back and stretching toward space created.

Many times I have opened my eyes here to feel fortune beyond fortune. My palms feel fresh and open. Walking light we roam.

Love, Laura
