Thumbelina - when will she find the love of her life?

[Guest guest]

Thank you dear omprem for your well rounded response on 'paramahamsa.'

 

YOU WRITE...

 

The Shiva Samhita says that one must be able to retain the

breath for 72 minutes before siddhis develop (III.53) and for 3

hours before one becomes so light that one balance on one's

thumb (III.59).

 

 

very interesting piece of information. thank you.

 

on a lighter note, you mention about being lighter than a thumb.

well, as a child i always liked reading fairy tales and Hanschristian

anderson's 'thumbelina' was one of my favorites. This little girl who

was the size of a thumb called 'thumbelina' found acharming prince

who swept her off her feet!

 

omprem, you found the 'love of your life.' let us hope some of us are

equally lucky to fine the 'love of our life' this valentine's day!

smiles!!!!

 

here is a poem...

 

Once there was a maiden so beautiful and kind.

She was the smallest maiden fair that you could ever find.

She was sweet and she was gentle, and she loved the simple way.

At night she slept in a walnut shell, she sailed on a flower all day.

 

Tiny Thumbelina! You could fit into my hand.

I hope you find a happy place in a sunny, fairy land.

 

Somewhere there's a tiny prince, he's handsome, good, and kind.

He is just the prince that Thumbelina wants to find.

He's strong and he is gentle, and he loves the simple way.

He and Thumbelina will be happy all their day.

 

Tiny Thumbelina! You could fit into my hand.

I hope you find a happy place in a sunny, fairy land.

Yes, I hope you find a happy place in a sunny, fairy land.
