How I wish I were there with you. I am so happy you are there. And… with Bhairava’s dog! 🐕🥹❤️

It makes me so happy to think of you there, soaking up all that you love, and having time just for yourself before sharing it out with all the others. Immense gratitude that I had the privilege of pilgrimage last year, & thinking of all my fellow pilgrims, & all pilgrims past & present who have or will support & love each other on the journey. Thank you, Douglas, for the generosity of spirit that you received from Appah & choose to extend out. Also grateful for the generosity of the Tamil people. They are amazing.

What an odyssey from northern New York state to India! It must be so wonderful to have a few days there on your own. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. I loved the description of the Cidamdaram temple and trying to let my imagination take me there.

Beautiful introduction. Welcome home Douglas.

Was the dog named Puppy? Did the teacher come to sit at the student's feet? (My inner animist says he did.)
