What No One Tells You About India

"Now that I’m immersed in no electricity, no wifi, and no cheese either, I have a different perspective. I cannot dash out and get a rich cup of brewed coffee right now. If I want that I have to walk far into the sunshine on a winding path through rice fields with buffalo plowing the earth. I don’t want it that badly. When I’m in the USA, I’m reminded that results are what count. There is no process. We have to be successful right now. But try telling that to butterfly pupas on their way to being butterflies. They will break out and fly. We forget that. Before I got my first publishing contract for my book Everyday Naked, I wrote for five years and didn’t tell anyone about it. I just wrote. When I wanted to show my writing to someone other than my dog, I put together a book proposal and went to a writers retreat where I met my publisher. Interesting how a few people reacted when I told them about the book being published. Most people were happy, but I also heard, “Did you know someone?” or “I didn’t know you wrote”, which means I didn’t know, so how could you be an author all of a sudden. Because it wasn’t all of a sudden. No one saw me in my room writing every day, being in my pupa stage. When it was time to bust out, I flew out of my cocoon. But I was in there for five years, writing every day. And when I came out of the room, I’d be making a living, raising a son, and being married. Now after a bazillion years of meditating, (okay, it’s been 25 years) I still am learning how to do it."
