This Precious Life
(notes from Sunday 19th April 2020) Today has been a truly joyful day. I awoke at 6am which is later than usual and felt rested and positive when I woke up.

I’ve just spent a magical 24 hours staying overnight on the Ashram’s fruit farm near Jodhpur. The head of the ashram, Guruji, very kindly invited myself and the only other two people currently staying at the ashram to join him on a visit to the farm. The farm is 32 acres of fruit trees thatContinue reading “Getting close to nature”
