Lifeletter 108: Love & Death in the Kali Temple

Following the deeper currents in our being, listening to our deepest longing, does not move us forward in a straight line. We have to meander, we have to wander, we have to visit the city of despair and darkness. Evolution is very curvy; it’s not a bit linear. It’s like snakes and ladders.
