About
The journey began in the Twin Cities, a week after The December Blizzard of 2010, and has continued each year to Northern CA, southern India (Chennai, Ananda ashram), and the north (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur), and in later years, Varanasi and Chiang Mai, before returning to the Twin Cities as winter diminishes.
Recently, first with children more far-flung, in the West, and then with the sudden dawning that the East was too much of a journey/destination, I’ve added Western destinations, most significantly, Athens. From the tiny studio apartment in Exarcheia, I go each weekday to Viktoria, and the migrant women of Melissa Network

Ma chère amie,
I laughed and laughed and laughed at your “airport” story. Un peu “nerveuse” au départ, madame? So how was Frankfurt??
I eagerly await the next update. Continue on your journey w/ all of us at your side.

p.s. I’ll be the one yelling: “Don’t forget your cane!”
