"I've been standing here for awhile. Eerie shadows are falling across the late afternoon sky. My eyes leave the horizon for a second to rest on the dampened sand around me. That's the first time I notice the moon at my feet." --

"My frustration is burning a big hole inside me. What can I do? His coal-black eyes are laughing. He is mocking me. There really is no where to run. My anger delights him. Fear feeds him. What a mess!" -- from travel memoir, MOONLIGHT ON THE GANGA.

"How many days, how many times during all my days, I wonder, have I allowed other things to affect me and choke my strengths, my own knowing, and blind me from seeing new things and hearing the unspoken?"

"The smell of gunpowder fills my nose and lungs...Meanwhile, I'm rooted in place...my eyes shifting the sands around where I'd just walked, following the path of my indented steps and find the burnt, tattered remnants of the explosion." -- excerpt from travel memoir, MOONLIGHT ON THE GANGA

".. I don't pay much attention to anyone...until the shyster's eyes steal mine and his smile promises more than I'm desiring. My flesh turns bumpy and, for a second longer than I want, I'm locked in his visual embrace." -- excerpt from my India travel memoir, MOONLIGHT ON THE GANGA.

"The Ganga flows through all time.it journeys white-capped down rocky crevices and sweeps through thick green, sweet-scented forests of the Himalayas, past tenuous patchwork homes of mud or dung brick and scrap wood, and past weather-bleached temples and towns. It falls from these gigantic mountains onto the plains and continues traveling a path of earth and rock worn clean over the multiple milleniums of its unending existence on its alternately swift and sluggish course to the ocean." - from my travel memoir, "Moonlight on the Ganga" #moonlightontheganga #travelmemoir #travelwriter #spiritualtraveler #oregonauthors #rishikeshindia #travelwriter #travelmemoirwriters #parmarthniketanashram #womenauthors #womentravelsolo #oregonauthors #sacredganges
