Shanti, Shanti!

Sorry, Nikki, I stole your blog post title.

I just finished reading Nikki's latest post from India, and here's were it took my thoughts:

 It nearly brought me to tears, this trip of a lifetime you've just embarked on.  As a friend, I couldn't be happier and more excited for you.  As a friend who shares the same roots of childhood, I know this is where you're supposed to be, and it's not in the least surprising that you've wound up in India on your way to Tanzania.  As a friend who shares familiar ties that I wish we didn't share, it's impossible to describe how proud I am of you, and how proud your mama would be, too.  You are an inspiration to everyone you meet; a truly model being of kindness, light and beauty. 

I love you, Nikki!
