Son looks like he has found another realm of the spirit perhaps. The Himalayas in the background make for a majestic picture, kind of surreal, very out-of-the-ordinary for this prairie fellow. But he has made his way to India, Nepal and now back to India for the last leg of his journey. He will be back on Canadian soil on February 19 at 5:35 p.m. landing in Winnipeg.
It makes me happy that in the next weeks we will see him again and hear his stories of how the trip has changed his life both inwardly and outwardly.
It makes me sad too, to think that he will be leaving a place where he has hopefully managed to find a real sense of peace.........in another land, in another culture. I pray that that same sense of contentment will follow him home and that life will be forever changed because of his initial decision to leave his home with everything familiar and face the realities of poverty, and injustice and the extreme over-population of a different country and culture.
May God watch over him as he travels home again.
