February 21st - Post-Travel Thoughts from Leslie
|
Here, in the US, we have order and a certain life rhythm
 | | On the Ganges |
that we take for granted. Of course, we all know that ultimately, we have no real control. But we do hold things pretty tightly and at least on surface presentation things go much as planned. Or at the very least we can pretty easily sustain the illusion of control. When you travel outside of your regular surroundings and especially to a place like India, that illusion can be shattered.
In making a spiritual pilgrimage and traveling to India I think
I hoped for some deep spiritual revelation to come. It is a trip I have anticipated for years. I traveled with a spiritual group with a focus on spiritual sights; temples, sacred grounds and the places of gurus. I believed somehow that I would feel closer to the roots of yoga, this practice that has been so meaningful in my life. That I might just understand something new or in a heightened sense that would solidify in some way the teachings that I treasure. And I do. But in a subtle way; and a way that I did not necessarily anticipate. In a way that, rather than solidify anything, perhaps just helps shed a bit more clearly some light on the path to non attachment. And that light was turned up not so much by the historical and spiritual context of the sights but rather than by simply being present, in the small way I could be as a visitor, within the context of life there.
