out of here

Sorry for the bad quality, but please enjoy a quick glimpse into what happens when two cultures come together for the sake of art:



--------------------------------
Tomorrow, after a few meetings and a film screening, i am hoping on a bus to Baroda. Then catching a 7 hour train to Mumbai. Getting breakfast with 3 other fellows, seeing the sites, and boarding a plane to Kerala.  According to the Wiki page Kerala is a touristy, happening place made famous by its backwaters, massage, and tropical greenery. 


Did i hear fish, massage, and nature all in one sentence? Thats right folks! i am out of the dry hot (yet occasional humid) veg paradise of Ahmedabad and on to bigger and hotter places. 


(which reminds me, I forgot to buy a mosquito net.  I hope there are a few on the side of the road)


This week all 10 fellows are getting back together to digest the past 5 months (not to mention ring in Passover 2010!).  I am facilitating a session on 'understanding our identities' and 'how to go beyond good intentions'. The lesson plans have been drafted so now I just have to convince 8 rowdy WPF to sit still for an 1.5 hours in 110 degree weather...twice.  We have 5 days jam packed with one session after the next exploring big questions and our feelings. free group therapy. 


Then passover with 15 others in Mumbai. Then 4 days to visit our 2 community video units working in the slum areas around Mumbai. and then, back to Ahmedabad where the weather promises to be no less than 125 degrees for my return on April 2nd.


all this to say, wish me luck and its hot. 


p.s.- i am trying to finish up laundry and brush my teeth but there is no more running water for the day.
p.p.s- the garden is starting to sprout
