Dear Nina:

 

I am so glad you enjoyed the story. The Joyce who wrote

it is know_mystery, who used to edit NonDual Highlights.

 

http://www.love-yoga.com/KnowMystery/1.htm

 

Her story is in the latest issue, Volume IV, where, incidentally,

The River, written by you and illustrated with wonderful

photos of Lakshyan Schanzer and his wife Marilena,

also appears.

If you look at the bottom of the articles, you

will find an email address for the authors. I think she would

appreciate hearing from you...forward this message!!!

 

Thanks for sharing your story, too. Healing comes in

many ways, and a little Grace never hurts either :-)

 

Love,

 

Joyce
