Returning to my hotel room from the conference in Waskaduwa, Sri Lanka, I was captivated by this sight – A great streak of fire in the sky, a frothing sea gleefully greeting the placid shore and  coconut trees stretching out to meet the horizon where the sun was slowly melting into the sea. It is on days like these that all my questions about life dissipate, I suspend all judgement and surrender all expectations. It is on days like these that I am grateful to just be.
