This made me cry Nicola. I have been not well because of such social masks you talked about and I have no idea how to take them off. I desperately want to. I'm so inspired by your courage to live beyond the constructs of society and be true to yourself. I honour your commitment.

There is a power so much greater than ourselves, flowing through the world and all of our experience. The very benevolence of that Grace can be, at times, painfully tender and hard to live with - I feel you in this. Thank you for sharing Swarna. 🙏💫💖

So many quotable, and meaningful sentences. I'll echo this one as it was one of many powerful ones that resonated with me, "Thoughts became my own, rather than postures I assumed to impress or undermine others." So good!

I've been sick all week, but I managed to go outside and see the eclipse. It was so cool because all the coyotes were howling so loud and a handful of fireflies were twinkling their last twinkles in the tops of the trees. I'm curious what the animals were thinking/feeling.

Wow. Beautifully written. Reading this felt like being guided down a gentle river filled with insight, novelty, and surprises. Your presence and inner quiet is palpable.
