I have just read the remainder of your blog. What a beautiful photo essay. I feel as if I were there with you, the photos and text so artfully convey the atmosphere and spirit of the people you met in India. I am very inspired by your journey and hope you gained a great deal from it, as I’m sure you did.

Next journey I hope will be to us in the United States. If only people could see you beautiful, good boys it would hopefully help convince Americans to cease their attacks on you.

Thank you for putting together this extraordinary story and sharing it with us.

Love, Grandma Joan

Beautiful photographs! Beautiful people! Thank you for this diary. So many firsts!

In 1985 I spent a few weeks at Gandhiniketan Ashram in S. India. They had so many different cottage industries. It was a buzz of activity and also a relaxed and happy pace. There was a conscious effort to move toward equal pay for all kinds of work. I was positively impressed.

Peace, right livelihood, justice, community: all the world needs these things.
