The plan was to wake up to catch the light the sun casts over the Western Himalayan range, to marvel at the beauty only nature can stage! You could make out the varying degrees of blue gray shades that marked the many layers of mountain’s skyline. I caught a view of fog rolling in low below the tree tops. The haze over the mountain range stayed as the sun rose at 6:40am yet despite that, the gift to just witness the dawn of a new day is an awesome feeling. I felt priviledged and blessed. In a few minutes, it shown in all its glory, the yellow-orange orb that we rely on each and every waking day. The one reality man has relied on since he walked on 2 legs.
Bobbie and I stood there recording the scene via video and photo and felt the warmth it brought our faces. Mornings are precious, I thought! Here we are at the beginning of a new day! All the possibilities become evident, become hope, become a vision of what the day could be! We stood there shoulder to shoulder to face the day together!
The day will be a fun day of art! We’ll visit the blind students as the Sanjiwani School who live in the hostel at the school grounds there and create personal boxes that they will decorate with ornaments and jewels we brought over. There’ll be a box lunch and some presentations of presents and games. I’m sure it’ll be a fun day!
