ReplyDeleteHello Sophie! It was nice to read your interesting story about "Rishikesh". I am looking forward to read your thoughts about vipassana. I am happily back in Finland. It was great to meet you and share Sadhana and vipassana-course! Be happy and keep on writing! Saija
ReplyDeleteRoos!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to hear from you and thanks for the feedback! It was lovely and unexpected. I hoe that you are enjoying your time back home now and making the changes that you wanted. Our Hello to the Queen was certainly the healthiest I have had in India...I tried a Hello to the King in Bhagsu, Dharamsala, which had Bhagsu cake 9a kind of caramelly millionaire's shortbread) instead of biscuit base. Deadly! xx
Hello Saija
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful comments, which mean a lot from a fellow writer. How was your one day encounter post vipassana? I'm afraid to say that I got dumped by my suitor to be on the Indian / Nepalese border before I had even got to meet him. But vipass helped me to deal with it... equanimity and annicha and all that!
I'm now in Nepal, having had to deal with high dramas on the border - being caught in the midst of political demonstrations. So I am now processing and integrating it all - the vip blog will be up in a couple of days time. Send me links to any of your writing if it is in English! xx
