--- Dear Dharma,

you wrote in part,

(snip)

Don't feel sorry for me in my non-vegetarian state, Tony dear. I

live in peace and joy in this world.

 

That is so good to know, that you have found happiness. I have

never been vegetarian, and i was unaware of the health concerns, so

you have educated me to some extent. Due to health concerns that i

have already, I wouldnt now consider trying to become a vegetarian,

so you have helped me today.

Thank you.

love Gracie

Then don't worry about it. Take care of your own body, and don't let

anyone make you feel bad about it. Do you know the Silver Rule? Do not

allow anyone to do to you what you would not do to him. )

>so you have helped me today.

 

I'm glad. It seems natural to me to be happy in this beautiful green

world pervaded by the divine. It is everywhere, and everything is an

epiphany. Every flower and every stone shows forth the glory.

 

Walk in beauty,

Dharma
