My sharing of the 9th of January reflection coincided with my daughter, Sarina's birthday. I reflected on her life, our contribution to it as parents and the family she has created, now adorned with its latest member Phoebe Eleanor Rose just eight days old. She was born on 02/05/25, and her mother was born on 02/09/92. Her son Oliver Sage Bodhi was born on 10/01/21.

I reflect on the wild twists and turns that life has taken from an African wilderness childhood to a Vedantic monastic sojourn to this moment light years flown by in the blink of an eye, 45 yrs with my amazing beautiful, courageous and sweetness personified wife to two grown children and a daughter with her own therapy practice. What a mystery what a miracle. My prayer is that the blessings and miracles continue in spite of the seeming insanity of a species hell bent on self destruction, destroying the only home we have! Thank you all for holding the immovable light to shine in the darkness. You are all a gift and an inspiration.
