integral receptivity

"You may have noticed in the different parts of your being, when
something comes and you do not receive it, it produces a stiffening
-something hardens in the vital, in the mind or in the body. There is
a clenching and this tension hurts-the first thing to do then, by a
force of will, is to relax this clenching...you must learn how to 'let
go'....This process of relaxation of tensions may be differently
applied in the mind, in the vital, or in the body, but logically it is
the same thing. You can enlarge your consciousness as vast as the
earth and even the universe. When you do that you become truly
receptive."

an abandoned castle

Had I been given a choice I would have preferred living alone in an an
abandoned castle.
But this should in no way be deducted that I have a liking for that
horrible Romanian Count!

May this NEWNESS grow to its fullness

To the friends of the USA.
My sincere goodwill for the land and its people.

on a foggy day in Manali-North India

Manali is in Himachal Pradesh-a province of India. It's near Shimla.
Beautiful tourist spot and a cold region. There is a path on the left
side of this cottage that may lead to a place of absolute
solitude-much loved by the yogis earlier.

Shimla-North India

Shimla a tourist spot in Himalayan India. It was developed by the
British for its cool climate and natural beauty.

my morning friend

It's as usual we meet each other everyday, But it's not just a casual
meeting. We find in each other a new one-and everything is renewed
with a different light!
