Thank you Rocket Harsha, for sharing this

part of your life. All sun come from space,

feeling the "memory" of your sun being

recalled, as it rockets, brings a warm heat

to my heart. A memory that may be actualized

into, or as, flesh.

 

Isn't it what some give to the name of

Shaktipat?

 

Thank you again...
