Hello from Varanasi! It is a place that is hard to explain in words. Today I got to row a boat on the Ganges River and later went to visit Sarnath, one of the four holiest sites for Buddhists (Sarnath - Deer Park - is where Buddha preached his first sermon, and is considered the site where Buddhism was founded). I have another week here in Varanasi, where time seems to stand still and life seems to exist in an alternate reality.
I am meeting the most interesting people. It is giving me ideas for the future, and most of all giving me HOPE for the future, my future.
I am learning more about people and what it means to be human. I am starting to let myself experience the inherent goodness within all people.
