I just discovered that a young teaching friend has left what was familiar and comfortable and has made a leap across another ocean (the Atlantic) to teach in Italy. It occurs to me that she has embodied the spirit of Hanuman in so doing! Blessings upon all who dare to make that "leap of faith", in whatever form!

Yes Kate, in whatever form...we can cross the ocean internally, travelling deep inside is such a journey!  These stories awaken that spirit in us / me, I feel, so grateful to James for that !!
