I am able to do all this while living in a tropical forest in an obscure part of southeast India. In touch yet sublimely removed, observant yet able to see as from a great distance giving a detachment that enhances clarity. It is lovely to wake to the exotic and varied calls of birds hidden throughout the glade, a riotous cacophony of sound. To have a light breeze rustle then waken the torpid great trees while the bamboo groans as it reaches ever higher into a searing scorch of sky. The music of nature descends into my thoughts like an aural landscape and a vibrant silence lies; just out of reach. A peace enfolds the morning air and reason sits quiet; in awe of nature's presence. To work in this setting is a privilege and a blessing. Being is a state of grace.
...and patience needed when sporadically torn from the web. Yet that has it's charms too...
