Our friend Lynn Ryan recently returned from a transformative trip to India, her first there. She went with a longtime friend, Wayne Gowell, an artist and photographer she's known for decades. A couple of weeks ago, she sent these photos, which Wayne took before he headed home. I think they're breathtaking.
My silly sister Lynn, .... she also had some fun in that Very Smelly country. Link to my Favorite Image > http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-9/1081322/India%20Lynn_Best%20Shot_v44z.jpg
Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean - the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is
moving her jaws back and forth instead of
up and down - who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to troll through the fields which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
