Bio
I love thinking. I respect thinking. I respect thinkers. Writing, for me, is thinking on paper. I shall think here. My meanderings as a vagabond, seeker, and lifelong student. I'm deeply honored if you choose to read any of those thoughts.

Holy Cow, It's the Holi Holiday
"Let's go buy our colors for tomorrow!" That was the suggestion of German Heinrich, an amiable fellow I had been hanging out with for a week in Dharamshala in North India. His regular pal Paul was unavailable, having enrolled in a ten-day silent meditation course. I had met both guys on a twelve-hour overnight bus from Delhi to Dharamshala.
