About Me

sri aurobindo was born in the grass half submerged in earth. feeding on sunlight, water, morning glory seed and whatever else was growing from the same ground he was rooted in; he, like the trees surrounding him, grew taller toward the sky. as mute prayers threaded on, a chord echoed out to a mysteriously organic purpose,like a witch-doctors apprentice he searched light and shadow to find silent designs in space.
