The tears I cried that day did a few things to me…my spirit was touched deeply, my strength left me, my voice was lost and I fell into despair…
“Dear Women. You are so strong.”
I have been reluctant to share the events of my last days in Rishikesh earlier this year for fear of regurgitating and exaggerating on ‘a story’ which will never have the same effect on another, as it did on me. Perhaps that thought in itself has isolated ...

I’ve retreated to my Goan hut house for the day. It’s much too hot outside. The persistent shrieks of the crows continue to add depth to my choice of Moby’s music, which I’m hoping will help to rest my spirit.

Cape Town to Mumbai…lost between two countries…
From the beginning India was explosive. Every experience in India from my first visit in 2013 has tested and pulled at logic and heart strings.
