Dear Harsha,

Ha, ha, ha (sigh) ... now it is you who have put me to shame. The warmth

and kindness of your post make it very difficult to respond. l'm sorry l was

unable to attend the retreat and partake of the genuine fellowship that was

clearly present in the wonderful photos that were displayed. One of my

greatest regrets was being unable to meet you for, as you say, l feel a

strong heart connection to you.

Recent weeks have been difficult:

first, trying to support a friend thru an endless and intense spiritual

crisis, and then, when l finally was able to step back from that, learning

of the sudden death of my dear brother in law. So this week has been one of

mourning and supporting grieving family members. And again, bowing before

death. Your post was truly solace for an aching heart.

 

love,

jerry

Dear Linda,

Thank you for the heartfelt message. Nice hearing from you. Amanda,

Bo,Greg & Gloria too. Just found this on a piece of paper lying on

the floor. " That which comes is not to be avoided, that which goes

is not to be followed".

All my love,

Re: Jessica/3 things

Hello Jessica:

I definitely understand loss as a companion especially in the last 5

years (we must share similar eclipse patterns) my heart goes out to

you. As I stand at the point where I now am finalizing the losses

and looking towards rebuilding it has become apparent that along the

way many false identities were also shed. Life has always had a

generous helping of loss and there was strength and wisdom gained

from each experience. This last go-round seems to have shifted

something deep within for I no longer had the tendency to blame

others or rage at fate it all became a play and I an actor in that

play. It became time to put beliefs to the test and I found that

within the losses anything that mattered was there and could never be

anything but everything.

Good luck with your move I hope the new setting is filled with light and beauty.

Love,

Linda

Hi Jessica,

 

I like it! Was the piece of paper from a new-age fortune cookie? A friend

of mine who runs a zendo says the same thing, "We don't pull them in the

door when they come, and we don't slam the door in their butts when they go."

 

Love,
