As I read about your experiences and Bill's and try to articulate my own, I flashed on the image of all of us here standing in a circle around a statue (God) and describing our limited perspective of the totality; the wholeness which can only be experienced in it's illusory pieces parts. There's a slight urge to whine about not being able to see what everybody else sees, but only what I see, but I think I'll just be grateful and notice the perfection of God experiencing Self in it's totality, through the eyes of Toom and Bill and myself, and most of all my dear friend Fred, who's love I betrayed when I betrayed myself, because of course that's what he is, as are all of you.
