the road from wal-mart:

was the road that had been traveled a hundred times, but was the road that i had never seen before on this trip home. i was listening to track 5 off the new caedmon's cd, which is a song about india. they sang of the people and places, and i could not help but let my mind wander back to the people i had met in taiwan and thailand. and i wondered... could the indian people compare to the human beings that i had met. could they be as hospitable? could they always greet you with a smile? are their hearts ready to released?

and i saw myself surrounded by 30 or so children, and everyone was laughing, and i was playing with them, and picking them up and loving each one of them. because of the overflow in my heart. peace. and in addition to that, as if it is not enough, my parents had come to visit me wherever i was, but they too were getting to experience the love. how complete. i wanted to be there instantly. soon enough.
