Happy Holi from NYC, MA, and Around the Globe
Holi breaks out in the Berkshires
The B2B Spring '06 Posse, post-fire ceremony, light offering, and Holi Play-sends the B2B Spring '07 Delegates salutations and warm wishes!
Spring like temperatures, blue skies, birdsong, a full moon, and a total lunar eclipse--it must be Holi. Some of you will celebrate your first Holi with homestay families in Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges; some of us (Erin, Michelle, Frank, last spring's Brahma to Buddha alum) are gathering together in the Berkshires over the next couple of days to reflect and re-connect; others in the ever widening B to B circle will be under a full moon in Greece, China, Argentina....
Wherever you find yourself this Holi, may the fires burn bright, the rainbow of colors arc brilliantly as winter's cold and gray again make way for spring's return.

AMAZING! Sheela-ji (the mom at our program house in Banaras) just looked at these photos and said, "America-may Holi nehi???" (tr. There is no holi in America, right??) We all just had a great laugh about this fantastic display of release from the year's stress and frustration. We, too, had a wonderful celebration and photos are on their way soon....
thanks for sharing, Spring 06 Alums!

Thanks, John... the lunar eclipse starts tonight at 3 am and is finished around 5:30 am our time. I'm hoping to catch it! Please send my best wishes to the reunion crew... we would love to hear from them on the blog!
