GAMBAZine published my short creative nonfiction “A Brush with the Past,” a story that turns from a chance encounter with a woman on a subway platform in Boston to reflections on a conversation with a rickshaw driver in Kathmandu. “The Awakening” was the theme for this fourth issue of GAMBAZine. Editor Melissa Hunter Gurney calls it the “awakening of new perspectives. Moments when one observes their environment and makes a different impact because of this observation. Moments when an individual goes from no sensory input to being flooded with it.”
