While staying in Udamapet, Tamil Nadu our new friend Hari invited us to visit STC college, near to Pollachi where he had graduated. He thought we could share our journey and passions with some students there. It turned out to be a very enriching experience, sharing our love for Indian warmth and hospitality, our passions for connecting people with nature, and encouraging everyone to follow their own passions and live with greater awareness. By the end of the discussion, tour of the campus, and delicious lunch our faces were sore from so much smiling!
A few photos from sharing at STC college! Thank you all for the warm welcome and for giving us your time :]
'BRAVE SISTERS'
We were given a welcoming introduction as "Brave Sisters" on a challenging journey through a dangerous country.
But inside, in my day to day experience I don't feel I'm doing anything especially dangerous or being faced with extraordinary dangers. I guess I just feel that I am living.
The reality is that we are met with very little need for fear. All we see and feel are warm smiles, hellos, curiosity, and offers of help from every direction. Villages, cities, everywhere, are full of families going about their daily lives, all in very livable places and tight nit communities. There is never a lack of welcoming people we can turn to if we feel the need.
For me, cycle touring is just living each day, learning from the world around us and our experiences, and sharing with others. I'm learning to remain open, loving, patient, and to have trust in the goodness within each of us.
I'm learning to LA DE DAH and TA THA TA
The real bravery was only back at that initial step and in the building of some momentum.
Now we're only living.
