The little brown eyes take me away
It’s like heaven there and
His brown nose is so indescribably
Small and precious and perfect
Something wells up inside me
I have these tears and I don’t know why at all
His perfectly formed ears fit on his head in such a way
How overwhelmed I am
He is India, in a huge, small way

A close-up and imperfect look at everyday life as orchestrated by a holy, humorous, and hope-full God.

- I'm taking up writing again for the summer and as of August 2012 will be posting delightful tidbits from my upcoming study abroad in Kyrgyzstan with the School for Russian and Asian Studies.
Perhaps a picture is worth a thousand words, but I hope you'll still take time to let a thousand words paint a picture.
