To Adriane about disappointment

[Guest guest]

Namah Shivaya Adriane,

I am so sorry that you have friends who were involved in the tragedy of

the hurricane. It has to

be awful to not know if they are well. I pray that they are OK.

..

Some of my husband's co-workers and friends were killed at the World

Trade Center and the

time waiting to hear was terrible.

 

Also I am in agreement that more should have been done sooner. It's

awful, just awful that in

this country people are still suffering the way they are. I think as a

country our priorities are

definitely misplaced.

 

This is all just so sad that the only place to find comfort is in Mother.

 

In Mother's Love,

Prasadini
