my india

dear india,

i miss you today...a lot. in fact, i'm dying to come see you and if i could, i'd catch the next plane that left LAX for you. reading a friend's blog made me crack up all over again at some of the funny things that happened when i saw you last. it also made me ache, not knowing you as deep as i wish i could, and knowing there is so much more to you than i know. so much beauty, so much pain, so much need for Someone to save you. and yet, there are those among you who know and love Him, despite the difficult costs. do we belong together? will i ever see you again? why did i have a recent chat with an old friend we both know? why did i stumble across pictures of you today? why can't i get you off my mind these days? i miss you, but sometimes i'm not even sure what it is that i miss. do you miss me back? i think i'm going to start praying more for you and also whether i should come and see you soon.

and i think i'm also going to start learning hindi.

love, heather
