Some might call this the foolishness of Love…the absolute loss of logic as one helplessly surrenders to the calling of their heart. There is fearlessness in that position…

I am almost half way through my one year silent practice…how has it evolved? I will share this – out loud – on February 16th from 6-8 pm in a live talk at the Yoga Barn in Bali.
