Play (lila) is everything and that everything is also love (bhakti), Sanskrti language and grammar, Anusara yoga practice, the history of western philosophy, the craziness resulting from studying Buddhist madhyamaka philosophy, running until my head is floating like a balloon, outdoor adventures especially whitewater rafting, good friends are like nothing else, life, life, life!
