Of all of the things that I thought I could worry about, an erupting volcano spewing ash and smoke all across European airspace was not one of them.
I have spent today glued to British Airways website, looking up my flight number in the hopes of a miraculous clearing of the weather before midnight tomorrow night. I keep thinking about my niece in the UK, and then onward to India and my work with Navdanya.
I found out a few days ago that I will not be working in Delhi as originally thought. Temperatures are rising there every day, and so most of the people who work in the offices have moved to the Dehradun site to seek a bit of relief from the extreme temperatures in the Himilayan foothills. This news is a bit of a relief to me, as the stories of the color, business and colossal sensory information in Delhi have preceded her! Dehradun promises monkeys, work on Navdanya's farm, a more localized community, and at least the possibility of getting my hands into some warm soil a few times. As a friend of mine put it, "alright volcano, it is really time to 'move your ash'"!
