Hi Steve,
Very nice writing and photos on this site. I also checked out your Berkeley site but couldn’t find a way to comment. I enjoyed your discussion around Kristimurti, someone I admired a great deal and who has had a significant influence on my life. I discovered him by chance and have read many of his books, I saw him in person many years ago in San Francisco. His stance on spiritual teachers is very powerful especially in our times with the legions of new age gurus hawking their spirituality! I practice formal meditation sometimes and a more natural meditation when out in nature or some special quiet situations, much like your hikes in the Berkeley Hills. Kristimurti calls these moments, something like the benediction descending and to me this comes as a silence enveloping me!
