Hi Open and everyone,

Feeling the energies there in India have really touched a chord in me. There's something very sacred about everyday life that I remember from times past in India. It's inspiring for me to be more conscious of that sacredness in life here, even though it's somewhat brushed under the carpet in western daily living.

Kali also strikes a chord. I feel just how much compassion and love there is in that seeming destruction. There has to be an invitation for that, and that seems to have happened. Make no mistake, the Kali energy doesn't f#%k around. It's clear, concise in what needs to be done to realign. That's why I totally resonate with moving beyond emotional reactivity - instead using the heart as a signpost.

That way we stay in the big picture, while not being dissociated from the little picture of individual lives.

Namaste

Rich
