Day 2: Road to India - Bronx, NY, USA - part 2

November 14, 2009

What's left of my worldly possessions is still too much! They are still heavy on my back and now I realize they are too heavy on my mind and my attention. I don't want to have to focus on what I have and what I must carry to the next place. I realize my holding on to that extra weight represents the debris left exposed after the initial purging and detachment. Oh what fun, I get to dig deeper and excavate more of what I haven't dealt with. I welcome it! The Spring-cleaning of my heart and soul of all that impedes it is a process I could embrace.

I only hope that after it's done I'll have at least one pair of shoes, some undies, a shirt and a pair a comfortable jeans. I don't see myself as someone who would shed all her clothes, cover my body with ash and sit by the road chanting and giving blessings to the occasional passer-by. What I'm sure of is that there's more detachment for me to do.
