Blog?

Actually, I have two new pairs of shoes and I'm just about ready to trek and tromp and get some dirt up in between my toes. It's taken me about two weeks, but my bags are fully packed. My heart is full, my mind is open, and my clothes for tomorrow are waiting anxiously at the foot of my bed. I fly out at 1pm our time and get to Korea at 6pm their time...the next day. After an hour there, I'll be off to Bangkok, and then it's all downhill from there. Except in Dharmsala, where I think we'll actually be doing a lot of uphill climbing. It feels necessary to have a blog post before I go, or even get out of bed at my house, but I must admit I don't have much to say at this point. I'm a new blogger (blogette?) but I hope my words and pictures can convey some of the emotion of the places I pass through for all readers to see. I know it won't suffice, though, so I hope you all know I have a little bag tucked away in a safe little pocket with a little tiny window to look out and all of you are in there on this journey with me. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for the amazing people I've encountered throughout my life, and if you are reading this I'm sure you are one of them. So thank you thank you for being the beautiful human beings that you are, and I'll pass a little bit of that light you've given me on to all those I encounter in Thailand and India.
We had to write a little something before we left about our hopes, dreams, and blessings for this journey, and I would like to leave this post tonight with what I wrote. If I can maintain this mentality for my entire trip, I will consider myself successful.

I hope...
to leave with
No Expectations
to be with
No Boundaries
and to walk on
No Path

I will not see only the light I hope to see

Namaste, Sawatdee Kaa, and goodnight.
