Fall is here. Leaves fall and I quietly join the Mother Earth who gives me nourishment. Thank you for this meal.

About Me
- annesermonsgillis
- I take risks. When I was younger, I jumped off a water fall, stayed alone in the mountains fasting for days and even held snakes - come to think of it as an older person I went into the Amazon jungle at night, climbed a small mountain in the Himalayas (it doesn't seem so small when it takes 6 hours to reach the top) and arrived in Seoul with a guide book and no plans. BUT and it's a big but, the real risks are the inner risks. The big risks are the ones where I let go of my concepts of who I am and free fall into life without evaluating it. I take the risk of being present and resting in the stillness. This is the risk of waking up and it's the only risk that is worthwhile. This process is the mental renunciation of me as a body, a mind, a past.
I like it, I love it, I want some more of it!
