Book excerpt: In Falling Water, Rising Mist, author Dr. Nilima Krishna Jayaraman offers a collection of a lifetime of gleanings as she straddles two cultures and keeps a balance between her roles as a physician and a home maker. She journeys through decades of experiences, seamlessly weaving a rich tapestry of personal values and light, playful flippancy, interspersed with spiritual insights, universal love, appreciation, and sensitivity toward all of nature. Jayaraman's musings feature a variety of topics including her parents, husband, children, family, friends, plants, pets, patients, and the planet. Words that have filtered through deep consciousness have been faithfully transcribed here to encourage all to think deeply, live fully, and tread lightly and joyfully through this journey of life. Spiritually uplifting and thought provoking with a touch of humor, the poems and essays have the ability to tickle the funny bone and touch a chord in the heart.
