In my reply email, there is a blue line going down the side, but when I see my post, the blue line is gone, and it seems as if what I write melds right into the quote I am commenting on. Anyway, I am just hoping to find a way to make it a bit clearer to others. Dear Ambika ~ your post had such meaning for me. Many years ago my mother, who is now deceased, gave me something of hers. It was a stone with the following words: God is happy with my work, but He loves it when I sing. I know so much about what you say, and that experience of connecting with God through chanting and music is an amazing gift. And I love this especially: "I sing, I chant. I love." You have given me such happiness by sharing yours. Shanti ~ Linda Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? Read reviews on AOL Autos. Quote
