I have been long in living the way of a traveler. I pray father that soon I shall begin to live more as your servant. I have learned more patience than I had begun with but still have far to go for eternal gentle patience. If it be your will father to give me strength, it shall be, for without you I am only the weakness of my flesh and succumb to the desires of my soul. It is my spirit, no, it is your spirit within me that must become me if I am to come to you father. For you love for that which is away from you to seek you so as to return to you.
Tonight, we ate what I thought was to be lunch but it did not get soft enough until much later in the afternoon. When we finished, I insisted on washing the dishes and while cleaning up, the owner came in and I meet him. A very nice man who told me I will enjoy India even though it is a dirty place.
