Wow, Mutimaa ~ this one really shot right into my heart like an arrow

of wisdom. How many times have I mistaken emotion for devotion? Too

many. And sometimes, I believe, this is what some seekers may

initially be looking for. I am beginning to learn that emotion is not

devotion, though true devotion is not devoid of emotion, but it seems

to me (at my still very early stage of devoteehood) that it is much

more subtle, and if you're looking for the big AH HA, you'll miss it.

Thank you, dear sister ~ Linda
