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"

Footprints in the Sand




Dear Daughter,
Yesterday, Papa went on a road trip to coast of India. There is a peninsula (something that is like an island, but not quite) that juts out into the water and has the Bay of Bengal on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other. The water was beautiful and Papa wished that he had had his swimsuit to go into waves. This is the closet point in India to Sri Lanka, which is an island where they also speak Tamil, and Telugu. Aunt Rebecca went there several years ago and she has a picture of her sitting on an elephant’s trunk! Do you remember that picture? Papa did see one elephant yesterday, but it was inside the temple!
I Love You,
Papa
