Checking In

I am writing to you from a closet Internet cafe with only three computers from Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, India.  Violently beautiful music is thundering in the background speakers. Outside I see terra cotta and coconut palms. I am in a permanent sauna. Last week I saw the Taj Mahal.  Today I danced a traditional dance with village women.

Life here is amazing, sad and joyous. My life is changing rapidly.

I am exremely aware now that my life is meant to be devoted to saving the world.

I will write to you again when I return to Japan, filled to burst with emotion and experience.
