So today I happened to leave my computer and some school supplies back in the ISP office that is now locked up. I am typing from my friend Jason's computer. I realized that my computer and the internet is such a lifeline for me back to the U.S. and the communication I have with other people there. After describing this to a friend the word "lifeline" struck me because it made me truly come back to where I do find life and what I depend on. So in the coming days I hope to explore this idea more as I become aware of the new and unfamiliar challenges that India brings. May you also look to where you find your "lifeline" as you walk this journey called life.
