Our Son Brian's Blog: Wanderlust

Warmest Greetings

I am moved to share our son Brian's blog. There is depth reflected here in Brian's glimpses into other worlds, his larger questions, beautiful photographs, reflections and links. What a gift to experience a little greater understanding and connectedness with others so far away in miles and in how it is that we know our world. And ourselves... My heart is touched in being witness our son's travels, which is very much both an outer and an inner journey. I have also been deeply enjoying our conversations since Brian's recent return, and find myself consistently inspired to go deeper myself. Inspiration is contagious. And so is courage. Perhaps something here will also touch you. Sharing these heartfelt questions, soulful reflections, and glimpses into different cultures, religions, people and ways of life sends out the kinds of ripples which, I believe, our world deeply needs. Thank you, Brian.

Namaste ~

Moreover, I see more of the nuance and complexity of the world. Of course the world is complex you say from the comfort of your home. But it is something else entirely to feel that complexity, to smell it, to taste it. Television cannot do that. Google cannot do that. Wikipedia cannot do that.

There is such a drive to categorize, to quantify. To place people in nice, clean boxes. To stereotype. To turn people into others. But we are all human. We all feel. We all matter. We are all part of us.
