Half around the world
Quite a trip it has been. From the first impressions of India, to more insights into that lovely country, to thinking about being there for a while, I flew back to LA last week, had a magnificient time there, reconnecting with some wonderful friends and evaluating some more interesting projects.
Everything always stays in the flow. Heraclit already said that we do not step into the same river twice, and it seems that this river has picked up speed along the path…
The picture above is from my visit to Auroville. My cousin is there at the moment working on a variety of projects that help Indian villages to establish self-sustainability (using water filtration, organic farming, reforesting, medicine herb gardens, etc.). It was quite fascinating to get an insight into her life there, and I really enjoyed the idea of working on projects again that actually help humanity. We will see, met some interesting people in India (having been in a vortex of synchronicities lately), so there might just be more happening in that arena soon…
Initially, I thought, I might be in India until the end of the year. Now it looks more like I will be there for a few weeks and then return to LA for a couple more interesting and fun projects.
Am in Manchester right now (the beautiful view from my hotel room window below), will be here for a couple of weeks and then it’s either on to India or to Germany. We shall see. Lots of options that will clarify over the next days I hope.
