Happy Father's Day!

[Guest guest]

Peace to you, Vish, and Happy Father's Day to you and all who are a

father/mother/provider of Light on this glorious day!

 

My archaic, dial-up connection doesn't allow me to partake in real-

time in your live web casts. I am just happy to hear Mother's voice

on the audio feeds, when I can get those unobstructed.

 

I am in awe of the discipline that each of you shows in your

spiritual practices. Mother would probably think I am a very naughty

child...always out to play, having too much fun!

 

love and light!

sal.
