    I enjoyed reading your blog Mike and can relate the the thoughts and process you have been through during the covid pandemic. I likewise am spending more time practicing meditation as a means to create space around my thoughts and feelings. If is tremendously helpful. The TAAY community is blessed to have such a wise and committed teacher. Go well in India
