About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Spreading love and letting go :)
ABOUT ME
I like to think of myself as being a traveler, a free spirit, walking the paths of life. May be some day we might cross each others path, walk together and leave apart or keeping walking together.
I blog on www.etherealnymph.wordpress.com
PHILOSOPHY
'There is a pleasure in the pathless woods
There is a rapture on the lonely shore
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less,
but Nature more...'
The art of letting go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sitting in front of HH the Dalai Lama in the Kalachakra Pooja in Buddhgaya during the public audience with the foreigners. Tears streamed down my face.
A wild dolphin with a baby dolphin swimming free.
Standing on high points and feeling the breeze brush against my skin - I'll do it all over again in breath taking places surrounded by nature away from human activity.
Teach, Learn, Share
