[Guest guest]

Dear Nanda and all,

 

I have been mulling over my words so long that I left it a little

late. I can't find the right words, yet I do want to let you know

that, even though I have not been a part of this group for the whole

two years, it feels like 'home' (or h OM m ) to me now. I did not

know the meaning of the word SATSANGHA before; I do now. Thank you all

for sharing your love and wisdom,for making me laugh or cry or think

again, for being here. Thank you, lieve Nanda, for being you. Thank

you, beloved Shree Maa, for asking Nanda do this. Thank you, beloved

Swamiji, for answering ALL my questions. THANK YOU for teaching me the

meaning of the word GURU,

 

with love,

Henny
