Peep Through the Door
Peep through the door
It seems as though the grass was much greener before
The dead life has been washed upon the sea shore

Humilty against despair.
Some people have thought i have been dead-close to it no lie. An internal life of devotion is always a struggle. Winter hits me so hard. My pineal gland is covered by the grey shade of Ohio days and I receive no light. This absence of light brings depression. This lack of light tethered with […]

A few […]

In the memories of Sally Aggarwal she states that when Srila Prabhupada would laugh “his laughter was oceanic”. I always remember that description.
