Thank you United Airlines
Somewhere on an unexpected detour and enjoying the day in Germany!! I had a wonderful day walking the streets of Frankfort..one has to partake in the fine dining..the best sauerkraut and frank..and of course the beer. Yes, this is not India!! But a sweet rest and enjoyable day to reflect on all the blessings of my year.
This has been a rich year, a year full of growth..I will always treasure the beauty of meeting so many new friends this year; and hold the memory of being with my sweet mother on her passing. The various contrasts of emotions around the fullness of living each special day. Life is just one beautiful ride..and thanks to United Airlines, I get a mini rest to take it all in.
Tomorrow, I finally have a seat on the flight to Chennai..now let's hope the luggage makes it as well !!!

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!!
