Silence explained. Well,,, sort of.

Hello everyone who still takes time to check my always empty blog ( meaning - hi mom and dad:)! I have a lot of explaining to do, don't i? I guess I just don't have blog running through my veins. When I experience something marvelous, my first instinct is to write it freehand (with plenty of scribble marks) in my journal, not to type it up in black and white on this blog. As a result, I have a lot of missing pieces in my pathetic looking puzzle. And I'm sorry to inform you that this particular blog is not going to fill in the pieces, it's just going to explain why they are missing. It's going to serve as the quiet explanation before the storm of blogs i'm planning on publishing.

This year has been the most exciting, revealing, frustrating, adventurous, depressing, valuable year of my entire life. I've been running here, there, and everywhere. I've barely had a moment to breathe, let alone to chronicle my stories. Since I last wrote a blog, i've been to Jaipur, Agra, Delhi, Kasauli, Kolkata, Nagarcoil, Pondicherry, and the Malaysian Borneo! Ahh! My brain is clouded with many brilliant ideas of what i should say and plenty of completely empty spaces. I want to dance around and tell all my secrets, and at the same time I want everyone to just leave me alone. I don't want to feel stuck in this chaotic schedule, but neither do i want to be left with nothing to do. (Although i'm fairly certain that i have not spent one boring moment in this country!) Since i will remain in this chaos for a month and a half longer, my struggle to stay sane will continue! Amidst the struggle, i'd like to fill you in on a few things before i leave this place. (I still cannot believe that I only have a month.5 left! South Asia is a time warp, i'm sure of it.) I'm normally pretty obsessed with chronology, but my love for an orderly timeline is going to take the backseat to more pressing issues on my heart. I hope you don't mind this, even though I assure you that it stresses me out! All stress and craziness aside...please prepare yourself for something that might actually be sort of informative! And please remember that i never promised i'd be good at this blogging business...

blessings - lp

prayer requests: that i live every moment of this next month and a half with passion and dedication to this awesome work!
