The journey of Stephen P. Huyler into India goes beyond travel-an intention-filled living for him, keen listening, and a rather unique form of empathy. Being always fascinated by culture, story, and how customs end up shaping people, I would find such a book not only an information resource, but deeply moving. The thing that really resonated inside of me was the way, in fact, Huyler speaks through his experiences instead of about them. He does not regard himself as an outsider with just peeking glances in, but rather, someone learned in the ways of belonging via that respect, curiosity, and connection. They were not just looking at the sacred arts and crafts of India; they were letting themselves be walked with by those people-too-within an experience of 50 years. Their strength, pride, and quiet dignity shine through every page. It reminded me that not all journeys are meaningful when one ticks the place off a map but rather, each of them is made complete by people, shared silences, unexpected lessons, and moments that linger long after you have exited. So if you love books that make you feel, that speak of culture, humanity, and personal transformation, this is one to sit with slowly. It is one of those books you don't read for speed; it simply stays with you. ✨ For the art lover. ✨ For the curious traveler. ✨ For anyone who has been ever changed by somewhere-or someone-they didn't expect. QOTD : Do you have any favourite place or comfort place ? Or What was your last 5 ⭐ read ?
