by Peter Brown

As spring broke last year in Holland, a new life energy welled up inside my being. Undoubtedly the impulse is akin to the revival in na- ture of new life after a cold, confined winter. I still distinctly remember sitting on my apartment roof in Holland, contemplating the past, pon- dering the future. I thought of my years in Holland, of how experience had changed me, not just once, but through each successive one of my four years. , BUT AS traumatic as many of my days in Holland were, I under- stood clearly that it was indeed the strange, bizarre, mind-blowing events in life that contribute to growth. Even last spring I believed that an individual can only expand his world view by having experiences which do not fit his previous notions of reality, and consequently de- mand an alteration. But while I was content with life last spring, some- thing deep inside was restless, and I felt a yeaming-for whatever I was, I wasn't complete. Whatever one decides to call this need, this thirst, it is a universal human phenomena, and while many for reasons such as security one may shun this calling, I'm sure everyone reading this can understand, and has experienced just such a calling. At any rate, while in the midst of thought, an intuition came, some flash into a future direction. Two days later, by no small miracle I was enrolled in the G.L.C.A. India program. India-that mysterious land-perhaps the oldest civilization in the world. AS GUESTS of Air India, we stayed in the Taj Hotel, which is easily IT'S BEEN nearly eight months now since the giant 747 eased onto one of the most exclusive in the world.

AN AMERICAN city, given a similar situation, would have long ago had a civil war; but not so in Bombay. The city was less dangerous for the individual-no need to fear walking at night on the streets, a very strange calmness prevailed in the city, for the masses, although starving, have resigned themselves to accept the existing social structure, and don't really see or care about the incredible situation of great affluence existing beside literal starvation. Not caring is a little strong, for they know not how to change, but ITEMS FROM MALE they have resigned themselves to their miserable existence.

Once again the jet lifted off and rushed us to South India. Soon we were on a bus and then we found ourselves in the beautiful mountains of South India. WE STAYED in a village town called Kodaikanal, which was a little Screwdrivers piece of heaven right here on earth.

And I've never really been able to get an Indian to grasp it. It is sneered by many, who are quick to point to the divorce rate in America as a problem due to the fragility of this "love." This all is not to degrade parent arranged marriages, quite the contrary, they seem to work at least as well, probably better than "love marriages."

For three days I walked, caught rides mind. During my stay we met a few people, Hindus, who were truly with ox carts and trucks. On the fourth day I came upon a river village blissed out; gone; at a point of development where they were neither in the heat of the afternoon and decided to bathe. here nor there, but rather dwelling in some separate reality. Events happened in such a way that day, and for more than four Although language wasn't a barrier and their discoursing was intri- weeks I found myself residing in this tiny village.

I just did this and looked at this man who humbly commanded such an incredible aurora of compassion. That moment and my many other dealings with him will always be treasured deep inside my being. I always left him with a feeling of warmth that lasted for days. It is clear to me, then as now, that I had actually met a true saint, who was down on the earth helping the meek and the poor. TIME JUST seemed to pass along in South India, and before winter (South Indian winters are warmer than Michigan summers) passed, I just seemed to awaken on a 747 jumbo jet that was carrying me back to America. The whole time appears cloudy to me now. But the deep compassion, the brotherhood and friendship, that is so obvious amohg the Indians, will always be with me. Although the wealthy are aloof in many ways from their society, the common man in India is very open and free with his thoughts and emotions. The ugliness of extreme poverty, and the beauty of open warm people; this is the extreme paradox spinning in my head. India, the land of every extreme under the sun, still as much a mystery to me as it was before I left last year. r 'V.-. . ^::iu ill' .-u, .1'.
