like river to sea

I know some of you are anxious to read about my Tamil Nadu trip. I have been posting some pictures on my Facebook page. I plan to post fewer pictures but more in-depth account of my trip here. You will have to be patient though.

Then again, you guys who read my blog only come here when you get updates...so I know you can be patient.

In the meanwhile, here's a short piece I wrote in my office on my first day of work.

*********
you laugh
you look away
   like a young girl
   from an old man recounting his youth
   but it's true
   how I think of her all the time
      like a river from the peaks
      ever flow to the indifferent sea
   so do my mind and heart
     ever share one common destination.

Lord Siva and his consort, Parvati.
Carving on the 7th century Kailasanatha Temple, Kanchipuram.
The Kailasanatha Temple was one of the most beautiful temples I have visited. Simple, but just incredibly elegant.
