To Mary: I'm new

[Guest guest]

no I haven't heard of Dana-perhaps he also teaches at USM? I'm pursuing my

Masters of

Music Ed there. I'm in Standish, about 20 miles west of Portland.

I spell Godde that way because I have come to believe S/he is both full female

and male in

attributes and though I am not a pain-in-the-neck about it, it reflects the way

I feel.

I have had varying success with other self-chosen mantras, but I think it's the

spirit of how

you use them, not necessarily what you use. I also speak in another language

when

praying sometimes, it sounds to my ears to be middle-eastern or some form of

hindustan

(I speak Chinese and French as well). Thanks for the link for the music. I

ordered a CD

from her website-I'm looking forward to getting it.

PS-ask your friend Dana if he knows Allie Rimkunas

This is interesting. As some in this group know, in my early twenties I did the

same thing. There was one word that I said so often, I seriously wondered if it

was a word in another language. This word is now in the mantra that Amma gave to

me.
