Philosophers’ Notes from Bali
The touchstone of my 3 months in Bali has been a discussion group I attend three times a week called Philosophers’ Notes.

The world is my mirror. What I see, both good and bad, I create. It’s an analogy I’ve heard before. But it is not until this day during this massage at this moment as I sat here looking out at these scalloped mirrored rice paddies that the words take root.
