…I felt my eyes peeled back wide enough for myself to see a fuller picture of India.  It is one extremely diverse place and it is a place that requires a lot of learning in order to even really be there.  Meeting the students was frightening at first but once we got into smaller groups it was fine. I was surprised to see how similar they are to everyone else I associate with; not sure why…

…How the cars drive so close to the people, bikes, rocks, garbage, cows; how the cows walk the streets and goats; as I saw a woman feeding a goat for a split second while we were whizzing past in the car.  How these small three wheeled vehicles weave, in and out of traffic.  …My favorite part is the oneness with nature and the self and balance and order and precision.
