This is both a statement and an explanation for all things that one might encounter while visiting the beautiful state of Kerala, India. Kerala is full of life, simplicity, contradictions, complexity, and yet somehow, it all works. It all makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>India is a wholly new experience for most westerners. Going to Europe is like visiting a cousin while going to India is like visiting a stranger. Exploration of unfamiliar experiences begins with the first day on the road while driving on the opposite side of the road during heavy traffic. It can be a scary experience on that first day. I say to my students, \u201cRelax; our drivers know what they are doing.\u201d As the days pass, they learn that there is an order to all the disordered driving. The lines on the road are for fun because no one keeps the line and automobile horns, a never-ending symphony. When the vehicles come too close to each other, I remind them there is a space only Indian drivers can see. They all giggle.<\/p>\n<p>The smell of spices, women in sarees, men in dhoti, crowded pathways, animals, and humans are crossing the highways, spicy food. All these experiences are unfamiliar. At the end of the day, this incredible India invites you to create poems, engage questions, open hearts wide, and be at peace.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the Bellarmine India trip is to encounter new religions and cultures not usually encountered in America. Trip participants have ten days to explore Hindu, Islam, and Eastern Christian religions, health, education, culture, beauty (Kerala is lovely), and shopping. In the past ten years, friars have taken more than two hundred students and staff to India for life-changing experiences. Dr. Susan Donovan, President of Bellarmine University, wrote to Fr. John Pozhathuparambil, \u201cI am impressed with the program you provide to our students and partnerships that you have made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bellarmine was impressed enough for the annual trip to become part of it\u2019s IDC 400 level course, which Fr. John teaches, making the class a truly unique and immersive experience.<\/p>\n<p>Each day in India is a new day exploring the unknown, the experiences life-transforming. For some, this transformation happens from sharing cultures and shared experiences that transcend culture while finding new friends at Union Christian College. For others, this occurs when experiencing Assisi Snehalaya, a home for those with AIDS, or while visiting Indian churches, mosques, and temples.<\/p>\n<p>Each evening the group gathers to evaluate the day, with each student taking turns to discuss the day\u2019s events. The sharing time makes me proud, witnessing what the students learn from the trip and how it changes their lives and views. People ask me, \u201cWhat is the best part of the trip for you?\u201d I say this is it. When lives and opinions change because of the India trip, that is the moment for me.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the trip, it is difficult to leave. One student writes, \u201cI\u2019m finally home, but I\u2019ve left a piece of my heart in India. Thank you, Friar John, for this amazing opportunity and for all the kindness that you\u2019ve shown me over the past 12 days. I\u2019ve walked away from this experience with an understanding of a different culture, a newfound sense of who I am, and a beautiful<br \/>\ngroup of friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In March, Fr. John and the friars will host a reunion of people who have participated in the India trip. It will be a beautiful occasion for former India trip participants to meet and share experiences, wear Indian clothing, enjoy Indian music, dance, and taste delicious Indian food. As always, this is open to everyone; all are welcome!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row type_default valign_top\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-4 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_shadow  vc_box_border_grey\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-4 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_shadow  vc_box_border_grey\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-4 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_shadow  vc_box_border_grey\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row type_default valign_top\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h4>More from this issue &#8230;<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_grid-container-wrapper vc_clearfix vc_grid-animation-fadeIn\">\n\t<div class=\"vc_grid-container vc_clearfix wpb_content_element vc_basic_grid\" data-initial-loading-animation=\"fadeIn\" data-vc-grid-settings=\"{&quot;page_id&quot;:8766,&quot;style&quot;:&quot;load-more&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:&quot;vc_get_vc_grid_data&quot;,&quot;shortcode_id&quot;:&quot;1582909602906-b5ef12a9-9eb2-0&quot;,&quot;items_per_page&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;btn_data&quot;:{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Load more&quot;,&quot;style&quot;:&quot;flat&quot;,&quot;gradient_color_1&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;gradient_color_2&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;gradient_custom_color_1&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;gradient_custom_color_2&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;gradient_text_color&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;custom_background&quot;:&quot;#ededed&quot;,&quot;custom_text&quot;:&quot;#666&quot;,&quot;outline_custom_color&quot;:&quot;#666&quot;,&quot;outline_custom_hover_background&quot;:&quot;#666&quot;,&quot;outline_custom_hover_text&quot;:&quot;#fff&quot;,&quot;shape&quot;:&quot;rounded&quot;,&quot;color&quot;:&quot;blue&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;md&quot;,&quot;align&quot;:&quot;inline&quot;,&quot;button_block&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;add_icon&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;i_align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;i_type&quot;:&quot;fontawesome&quot;,&quot;i_icon_fontawesome&quot;:&quot;fas fa-adjust&quot;,&quot;i_icon_openiconic&quot;:&quot;vc-oi vc-oi-dial&quot;,&quot;i_icon_typicons&quot;:&quot;typcn typcn-adjust-brightness&quot;,&quot;i_icon_entypo&quot;:&quot;entypo-icon entypo-icon-note&quot;,&quot;i_icon_linecons&quot;:&quot;vc_li vc_li-heart&quot;,&quot;i_icon_monosocial&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;i_icon_material&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;i_icon_pixelicons&quot;:&quot;vc_pixel_icon vc_pixel_icon-alert&quot;,&quot;el_id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;custom_onclick&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;custom_onclick_code&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;tag&quot;:&quot;vc_basic_grid&quot;}\" data-vc-request=\"https:\/\/www.franciscansusa.org\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" data-vc-post-id=\"8766\" data-vc-public-nonce=\"e0ba344be0\">\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_grid vc_row vc_grid-gutter-30px vc_pageable-wrapper vc_hook_hover\" data-vc-pageable-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vc_pageable-slide-wrapper vc_clearfix\" data-vc-grid-content=\"true\"><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_huge with_img with_overlay\"><div class=\"l-section-img\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.franciscansusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/father-migue.jpg);\" data-img-width=\"864\" data-img-height=\"499\"><\/div><div class=\"l-section-overlay\" style=\"background: rgba(0,0,0,0.6)\"><\/div><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row type_default valign_top\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\" ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Wills &amp;
