In India: December 2008
http://kathleen-inindia.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 16, 2008. I don't think India is going to make me happy or fulfilled either, it's just a step in the right life path direction. The logistics of the plan are well in order. I have the plane tickets. Our visas were just finished, and I am hoping to get to the visa office off of Dupont Circle tomorrow to pick them up. It will be so good to see them embedded there in our passports. I'm getting chills just thinking about it now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Straight from the Farm.

In India: 50 Years of Freedom Struggle
http://kathleen-inindia.blogspot.com/2009/03/50-years-of-freedom-struggle.html
Thursday, March 12, 2009. 50 Years of Freedom Struggle. During our time here in Darjeeling we've been witness to various events surrounding the 50 th. Anniversary of the uprising in Lhasa, Tibet that resulted in the exile of the Dalai. That evening, where the people placed their candles on the paved ground spelling out the letters "Save Tibet" in fire. Then everyone in the massive gathering let out a song, maybe a Tibetan anthem though I'm not sure. But rather a Tibetan face. Straight from the Farm.

While reading a recent blog posting on Glory to God for All Things (http:/ fatherstephen.wordpress.com), I encountered an old bit of Syrian theology that had a really profound impact on the way that I understand the literal presence of the divine.

This Vault of Heaven. The man, the beard, the Orthodox Christian Church. Wednesday, December 24, 2008. Tied up in strings. So where do I go from here? I'll work something out, of course, but I know that it won't be as easy or functional as walking to St. John the Baptist Russian Orthodox. I guess there are some conveniences associated with living in the city, and it's a trade-off for trees and meadows and honest-to-God teeming life. Regardless, I am home now, wishing you all a Merry Christmas. To tho...
