I have one major thread coursing through my life amongst more minor ones, and that is the search for the truly ultimate truth. That search has led me to Bhakti Yoga as a final process and path and goal. Thus I have lived in India 18 winters since 1996, and continue to spend almost every winter there from fall to spring.Music is another. I play piano well. I love history and the play of politics but at a distance. I have worked as a nurse and medic among other jobs.I love cats, rural living, simplicity, less is more but enjoy cities if companioned. I love writing so here I am.
