Ted Seymour - Explorations of Truth
I’m going to keep this one quick as it’s hot and I need to rest a little. Last night I walked around Arunachala by full moon with about 100,000 other people. What a scene. People just walking and walking, with roadside stops for food, many many temples with hundreds of people queued up to go […]
Still loving India. Went to the Vedenthangal bird sanctuary for a day which was great. Hundreds of thousands of birds, including huge gorgeous Painted Storks, Spoonbills, Great Ibises, Egrets, Herons, etc. The phone number to the only lodging there (4 rooms) was wrong so I went there with the faith of finding a room.

Spending the holidays here in Thailand where my father lives with his wife of 23 years, Sandra. Savoring time spent here as these times in life are all too rare when everyone is in good health and spirits. Trying my hardest to keep my heart open. Read a talk given by the Dalai Lama about […]
