That we are Her. Dear vish ~ it was hard to cut anything out of what you wrote, so most of it is there again. What you say touches me deeply ... it is even hard to quantify. I especially felt the truth of what you say ... "it is all so simple." Some of this intention and learning I have had with the result of being together with my husband again. Things that would have thrown me in to turmoil, and possibly the grown-up version of a tantrum, I notice, but they don't touch me. Recently, David said something that he was going to do, go out of something. Before I would have felt abandoned, lack of trust, fear, etc. I said with a smile -- Fine, fine. He was taken about, perhaps because I had been using that response somewhat frequently recently. He looked at me quizzically and said, "fine? What's going on? Everything is fine." I said (and really felt and believed), "I don't have time for anything else." Of course, that makes it seem perhaps too easy. I would not have believed myself capable of this type of acceptance of another person even a year ago. So as one person wrote, Maa puts us in a divine union. I am very blessed. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji Linda P.S. I copied your whole post for my Devi Mandir (DM) Notebook. It will help me remember, should I need it. Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget?
