Gratitude
THANKSGIVING – The first time I visited the holy city of Haridwar in India, a massive crowd was gathering on the banks of Ganga River at sundown. Tens of thousand of people gathered with their palm-size baskets made of leaves filled with marigolds, each with a small candle in the middle. Loudspeakers blasted devotional chants; bells and horns sounded in the background. At sunset people stepped their feet into the river and with devotional gestures placed their candlelit pieces onto the water.
