Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Funny How Things Change: Conversations with my Grandmother You said, I used to tuck you into bed, now you are tucking me in. I said, Funny how things change. You said, Yes, it is. I said, If you had not tucked me in, I might not be here to help you. You said, That is true. Note: Swamiji says we owe our gratitude seven generations back for what they did that allows us to be here in this privileged place, knowing what we know.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Namaste beloved family! This is hard for me to say in regards to my own 'Mother, who gave birth to this body': "She who was there when i came into this world; i was there with her, when she left this world. In the beginning, she was there, lovingly changing my diapers each day... At the end of her embodiment, i was there lovingly changing her diapers each day. When she wanted to give me a special treat, She would give me a coke and chips and turn on 'I Love Lucy' Her favorite treat at the end of her stay on earth, was for me to give her a coke, some chips, and turn on repeats of 'I Love Lucy'. Our relationship had often been quite turbulent, but all that disappeared in the end. She had Alzheimers disease and so became like my little child who i loved and tried to protect. In the end, all that was left was...LOVE. Jai Chandi Shree Maa! Jai Shiva Swamiji! Jai Ramakrishna Deva! your sister always, muktimaa , "sadumaa" <sadumaa> wrote: > > > Funny How Things Change: Conversations with my Grandmother > > You said, > I used to tuck you into bed, > now you are tucking me in. > > I said, > Funny how things change. > > You said, > Yes, it is. > > I said, > If you had not tucked me in, > I might not be here to help you. > > You said, > That is true. > > Note: Swamiji says we owe our gratitude seven generations back for > what they did that allows us to be here in this privileged place, > knowing what we know.
