Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Lately I have been feeling very thankful for this Sangha. There are so many souls here who post on a regular basis, and I feel I have come to know and love you. There are also souls who occasionally make an appearance, and always manage to touch me and make me glad to know you are there. Then there are the quiet ones, who do not post, but somehow I know that you read the mails and that you share in the love. I do not want to mention any names of those who do post, lest I miss even one, but know that I mean YOU. I can't mention the names of those who do not post, but know that I mean YOU TOO!!! I just wanted to share with you how nice it is to read the messages, the sharing of our joys and sadness, the poetry, the links to webpages, and the wonderful photos and other artwork. Without you, each of you, it would not be a :-) Grateful for joyful fellowship, With a smile on my face, and love in my heart, Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Sing-a-song of sangha, a pocket full of ties. Flowers aplenty bhaktis, basking in our lives. When the lives are over the birds will surely fly. Yes, you are a tasty dish to place before the King. Young leaves, Sam - Lady Joyce Wednesday, May 26, 2004 1:31 AM Without you...

Maugre all the selfishness that chills like the east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether. How many persons we meet in houses, whom we scarcely speak to, whom yet we honor, and who honor us! How many we see in the street, or sit with in church, whom, though silently, we warmly rejoice to be with! Read the language of these wandering eye-beams. The heart knoweth." How about that? Wisdom is ageless. Our gratitude and love simply are, while the forms change.
