My dear friends < A candle stays bright when it doesn’t avoid the night. What hurts you, blesses you. Let darkness be your candle > // Rumi writes. In this way, this year has brought upon us much variety of blessings in disguise. Creativity has been one such blessing and presence has been another. Today, I am grateful to share with you a little snippet from 'The Being Present' in conversation with my good friend Sarah Pike. She helped me pick the title for the podcast and gave me the confidence to launch it. What a special soul. So without further ado—check it out wherever you find good podcasts. Happy Diwali!
