Returning to random chaos

Just decided that the only way to travel to India is to go with the flow..yes,letting go of outcome is already the only way to fly!! I was an hour and half late leaving O 'Hare airport yesterday evening, and arrived in Frankfort, Germany only to find my connection to Chennai had departed..without me!! I soon found out that there were no other direct flights open today and tomorrow I could get on the afternoon flight to Mumbai, arriving at midnight with a 7 hour layover before the 7:00 am departure to Chennai!!! No way am I choosing that possible nightmare..so I surrendered to stay two days in this hub and fly direct on Sun.morning..so now the journey of practicing "Isvara Pranidhanai " begins..letting go of the outcome, but choosing the path that has the potential for less obstacles and prevent that which might cause future suffering. My favorite sutra, heyam duhkhamanagatam,(2-16).
Yes, nothing could be more upsetting right now than be stuck in Mumbai in the middle of the night with no sleep and in the chaos of that airport!! I will take United up on their voucher offer and stay in my air conditioned hotel,eat some good German food, and explore a city that awaits my curiosity. As I know, it could be worst..so I am grateful for life's unexpected detours and I will go with FLOW..
So after waiting in the long lines filled with tired,frustrated and irate travelers trying to secure new flights, I finally settled into my new digs by the airport..ahh, a comfortable bed and to just be horizontal!!
