Guest guest Posted January 20, 2002 Report Share Posted January 20, 2002 Hello Harsha: I fried my hardrive and have been out of touch for a while...how nice to be on line again and seeing you back here...good timing. I remember seeing something about planet 'x' a while ago but no other information has come through the astrological world...perhaps as James said it is a hoax. With Uranus getting ready to change signs (all the surprises and computer glitches), the nodes getting ready to change, Mercury retrograde and Venus combust the Sun I think the planets have given us all more than our fair share lately :-). How you must be missing Mira....babies are so incredibly magical...hope all is well with her and your wife who certainly has a lot going on in her life. Glad to have you back. Love, Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 Hello Gloria, though it would be nice to hold infinity in the palm of our hands, and eternity in an hour, I don't think one can sum up in one paragraph a limitless subject such as happiness. But perhaps each one of us might be able to contribute a personal thought or a deeply felt sentiment - some little spark that may make one facet of such a many-faceted subject light up briefly. Anyway, I liked your suggested subject of sadhana even better. Is this the official topic now? Here in Central Europe the only groundhogs (or marmots) I am aware of live in the Alps. They are exceedingly shy and, except for the holes they dig, very lovable little critters. It must be nice to have them living so close to your doorstep. If they know their calendar they should all be in hibernation now. And as you may know from biology, the preferred habitat of the European mole population is, of course, my garden. Love, Michael -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Gloria Lee [glee] Gesendet: Monday, January 21, 2002 21:04 An: Betreff: Re: Hello Everyone! Hi Mike, Thanks for at least responding to the idea. Hey, if you can sum up detachment, happiness, or reality in a paragraph - please do! Perhaps narrowing the focus a bit to some aspect of one of these might make it more manageable. What about a focus on sadhana, with each writing briefly of just one spiritual practice they have found useful? That would offer some practical ideas to the readers. Moles are not so bad, you should see the size of the holes the groundhogs dig around my woods. Love, Gloria - MikeSuesserott Monday, January 21, 2002 1:19 PM Hello Everyone! Dear Harshaji, a warm "welcome back!" from this humble sangha member also. As regards a contribution to the magazine, I would second Gloria's suggestion of focusing on a given topic, be it "Happiness" or "Detachment" or "What is Reality?" or "The Poetry of Mirabai" or whatever. It should be a topic that most of us feel they are reasonably conversant with; therefore, I would advise against "The Mating Habits of the Mole" which I understand you are currently considering. Take care, :-) Michael /join All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere.

They are exceedingly shy and, except for the holes they dig,very lovable little critters. It must be nice to have them living so closeto your doorstep. If they know their calendar they should all be inhibernation now. ----- NICE??? Oh sure, they eat all the fruit they can get their paws on in our tiny new orchard. But they do it shyly at night. The deer prefer the leaves, that is, when they aren't stripping the bark off rubbing their antlers on them. Still the racoons look real lovable when they come right up to the porch door to eat the cat food. So far, the only success has been finding a way to keep the squirrels from eating the birdseed. That and the tomatoes were good. Hey, maybe we could write about gardening as a sadhana? Being outsmarted by a mole must do wonders for your humility, right? Mike, there is nothing official about anything I suggest here. It's more like begging. I'd be happy for anyone to write about anything.
