I have been in Nepal for one week.
I feel like I left Minneapolis 7 years ago. Everything is so new, my life changed so drastically in the span of 20 hours. Talk about overwhelming.
My thoughts on Nepal, on my friends, on the things I am doing, seeing, hearing and smelling are too much to say right now.
So, I will say this:
As I was standing in the airplane that landed in Thailand, I looked around and thought so much about the hugeness of our world. Everyone looks so different; there is a monk sitting next to a Thai buisness man, who is sitting next to me. I thought about all of the thoughts I have, all my opinions, all my dreams. To learn those the dreams of those who come from such a different place than me... people that hold such different perspectives, is what I want to spend my life doing. Everyone has 2 eyes... think of all the different ways of seeing! Think of all the different ways of being. And, it's all at the same time. As I stood there, I almost could not breathe when I pictured the vastness. I could see it. I could see people thinking, and I had NO idea what was on thier mind. What a beautiful world.

I can't believe that we live in the same world but you are there and I am here.
And yet, somehow, I know that we are all exactly where we are supposed to be.
