just two days left in india. i've been in the moment. here. limited internet has led me surrender to the moments and save the sharing for  later. the images. the stories. i have realized that real-time is for being present. my every expectation has been exceeded. my heart busted open again and again. 

i am saturated in color and sound and scent. alive. awake. and already longing.

the people are under my skin…infused with hope…dripping with sweetness.

we will explore the romance of udaipur today. strolling, shopping, breathing it all in. on a train back to delhi tomorrow night and flying home on friday. i am filled-up. and expanding to make room for more.

ps. this is the smallest sampling…i'm saving the good ones for time and processing…

it's all in their eyes…

the women of shampura village. i sat with them and listened to their stories. visited their homes, met their children. they are the change-makers. their stories will inspire you to want to be better.
