Varanasi intro

varanasi.
i liked this city.
ive yet to determine why precisely.
it was hot, sticky, insanely crowded, noisy, and full of cow shit.
like most other locations we've been to actually.
but i did.
thats good enough for the moment.

they say its a city between worlds.
the gods and mankind.
held up on a trident.
a shadow city if you will.
atop the truth.

ive heard a bit about it from a friend (thank you miss) and had been looking forward to it actually.
though worried that i would dislike it.
not so.
i could see myself living there a few months (not much more - the heat would kill me and it's winter right now!)
right there in assi, by the ghat.
doing what exactly - i have no idea.
but i came across an ashram on the river, a cafe (yes it was inevitable, a coffee, a single latte i did enjoy and it was beautiful) and a book shop which i could easily come to love.
there are times.
when its charming to think of these things.
running off to soak in a bit more of one location.
it wouldnt be much to rent a small place.
and i think - well. one day.
one day.
