Sharani

I am a public librarian in Massachusetts and an avid meditator, writer, photographer - mostly on Sri Chinmoy Centre websites. As a librarian and bibliophile, I especially resonate with the written word. In my professional capacity, I am intrigued by all things 2.0 and have just switched from being in Technical Services (Acquisitions/Cataloging) for the last 13 years into wearing a new hat as an Information Services Librarian/Webmaster. I work the public desk and delight in broadening my job duties.

I began studying meditation as Sri Chinmoy’s student in 1985 and my spiritual strivings and creative expression are primarily a spirit of delight in the supernal beauty of God. I often find an act of centering prayer in artistic expression, especially when harmonising with Nature.

I am happiest when the writing of prose and poetry or the taking of photographs leads me to a hushed place of kneeling in awe of a universe of oneness much vaster than myself. I live and work in adjoining New England states, both located near the Atlantic Ocean’s coast. As a transplanted New Englander, I find that living near the sea nourishes me deeply and sparks creativity on many levels.
