Blake

To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. William Blake, from "Auguries of Innocence"

Taking a Tak-Tak to Work

Dear Daughter,
Remember the funny bicycles that we saw in Santa Fe with the little bench in the back and Papa told you that they were called rickshaws in Asia? Well, in Madurai, they call them "tak-tak"s and Papa will be riding one every day to work! However, most of them are motorized here, so it is very loud with lots of honking and beeping. Papa will try to film the trip one day and send it to you so you can see what a crazy place this is. And, Papa promises to take you on a rickshaw ride the next time we are in Santa Fe, but I bet it will be much more peaceful than here.
Love, Papa
