2. it is full of gorgeous symbolism - they live by the water, bathe in it, use it for their rituals, and drink it - and yet it is the water that they have to cross to "the bad side" and when you die you are cremated and set adrift across it.
3. it will put all of your meaningless problems in perspective
4. it made me think about the dichotomy between feminism and religion
5. you will learn something about indian culture and religion
6. you will learn something about gandi and indian history

6. said something funny while giving submissions and got a laugh
7. went and visited my ex's parents, just for a cup of tea, and was greeted with hugs and kisses and sent on my way with armfuls of citrus
8. drove from te kuiti to hamilton like a bat out of hell in fucking atrocious weather conditions that actually scared me a little
