Shazar's meanderings
from a life of service to Mother EarthWelcome to my blog –
it meanders through many different topics as you will see… some pure fiction – many about my life and personal views – I hope you will gain some insights from whatever your read here and that these musings will be of value to you.
Coming Back to India
You know you are coming back to India when you board the plane and everyone is rushing to stand in line.. but clearly having trouble being disciplined in the line.. after all in India lines are definitely a foreign concept. After being stuck in Kuwait airport for 8...
I am so lucky
My last post was the pits. Sounded a bit like a lament.. or perhaps just a fact I guess.. that's my brain .. I can be a worrier. But as I walked this morning - the sun peeking over the edge of the earth - the air fresh and crispy - my body feeling a little more alive...
Waking in the Night
When was the last time you woke seemingly in the middle of the nght - wide awake - no hint of sleep in your eyes - and a million thoughts in the the head? This night past has been one of those. It feels a rushing time - a time of never being able to get everything...
