What is the upside and downside of your relationship between financial wealth and freedom?
FREEDOM AND WEALTH…can you have both?
What is “freedom” to you?
Freedom for the individual is a very new concept!
In the past the individual’s wishes had to be subservient to the family, because with no family you had “no place” in life.

The family fortune could be wiped out in a heart beat by a jealous king…(obviously things haven’t changed that much).

Poem by Shankari
written in Bali: May 2008
Soft warm breeze
coconut fronds rustling… waltzing
through the velvet night
Sacred sounds
Temple bells, flutes and gongs
Keening in the twilight
I am humbled at the beauty of the earth.
Grateful to The Divine Mother of all Creation …
Night blooming jasmine
Activates my bliss
Silver shafts of moonlight
pierce the shadow of the Frangipani
dappling the grass beneath my feet
Dripping dew in abundance
bougainvillea heavy with blossoms bring me to my knees in awe
Forever grateful for Her patience
and the privilege of the dance!
I move from strength to strength
Ready to take the chance… to trust in her love
