Reflection for me, is a time to further understand the nature of my life. I look back as a way to examine and refine my actions in order to coax myself into a more balanced space. Looking back over the past ten years is something I do each decade of my life as a way of bringing myself back to the path on a grand scale. So as I look back it is your face in my minds eye that illumines my spirit. I see your face with open acceptance to a discipline that is not always easy. I see the light within you as the way of the yogi begins to unfold. I see your generosity as I ask of you to support causes which are dear to me - children, the environment. I am eternally grateful for the loyalty you display which allows me to practice my dharma. As my boss you have never denied me a day of rest but openly encourage me to take the time . . . "you deserve it", you tell me. How do I deserve such love? Thank you, students. With much love and gratitude on my fifth decade.
