“You are a queen,” he expostulated. “Do you know you are a queen?” My mind hesitated somewhere between theoretical acceptance and outright rejection of his statement. My journey has brought me into a much deeper flirtation with my own nature, […]
Dubbed as an Independent Force of Nature by a canny school friend, I never set out to be conventional, and it’s just as well, because I never have managed it, even when I’ve tried. It has been a part of […]
Believe me when I say there is no rest for the Guru. In my spiritual life travels I have come across many spiritual teachers and gurus and they had one very important thing in common. They were human. As long […]
Gardeners impress me. Even more so since realizing that it is a struggle for me to even keep house plants alive. This is because just as we need self-nurture, these little earth beings require daily attention, and some people are […]
