is this it?

II write this in the spirit of 'are you experienced?' (hendrix) Since the age of
7 this question of is this it has been floating round my head. with no job,career,money
etc.... I find myself once again in the midst of India always questioning and always
observing life and this amazing planet. To those who have been here India needs no
introduction. It is alive in ways that many of the 50 or so other countrie I have visited
can't quite capture. The sheer scale of humanity is here at once humbling and
inspiring. when we are together enough here it gives
us a chance to juxta pose our often harried self important lives with the realities of
survival for 70% of the planet. (note to brother the scratch on your new Jaguar xkr isnt that
much of a problem!!)
It has not slipped my notice that people from the west come here to find space in country
that is one of the most densely populated on the planet. Perhaps in some ways this place doesnt allow the distractions that we have back in the west.
We are confronted by the plight of humanity and there is little chance to internalise the
suffering of our fellow folk.

hmmm?
