Before going around the national parks, we drove down the bee-you-tea-full Californian west coast to meet my friend Michael in Cambria. Leo was stoked to know that Michael was a cowboy and so he made a sketch for him. I got to know Michael through FB during the pandemic. It all began with my spiritual quest which started several years back. This took me to several parts of the world and had me reading a lot, doing yoga, trying to connect to my “higher self” and doing all sorts of stuff. This quest ended when I read about the experiences of Nancy Neithercut, Michael Markham and Miranda Warren. I now understand what U.G Krishnamurti was trying to say.

This somehow seems to be a turning point in my life and I’m sooooo glad to have been able to meet Michael in person. Such a gentle, kind and loving person. I’m very lucky indeed!
