Attuning

Hi, It's Asenath. Now that i'm settling down everything is catching up with me and there is so much more than i realized. i feel very happy to be alive right now. my current perspective is different from how I was living before we came here. First of all I am deeply humbled by the kindness of the people here. The way it feels to be here is like when you get a flashback of a dream you just had and then you concentrate and try to trace it and then you remember the crucial thing and then you remember the whole thing. Travelling to India was like remembering the crucial thing, which was bringing India to life for me and then , there it is, just like I imagined only about a million times more vivid. So, life is good here. Right now, I feel in harmony with the world and the people in my life and the place I live and the place I come from. How can a place where I understand so little make so much sense out of me? I feel like I am learning to think Malayalam; not just the language but the customs, the manner, where and how I might go about doing something. Everyone is very supportive. It is like getting to be a child again as an adult. I'm starting over again with apple, ball, cat. Which do you play with, which do you eat which do you pet? There is nothing to do but to have fun with it and make a lot of mistakes that are funny. Now I have to go to bed. Tomorrow I will put up some pictures. Ciao!
