Exactly one week ago I completed a ten day meditation course in noble silence. Vipassana is an art of living, and practicing this meditation got me to think of what a precious privilege my life is; what a blessing it is to wake up and be alive; my soul breathes in air of gratitude and I am living with a new light. Yesterday was the most perfect day of my life and on my way home, I discovered Stunt Ranch where the beautiful sunset glows over the valley. I reached bliss at this moment.
