There’s a nine hour time difference between here and India, Maria wakes up when I’m asleep, so sometimes I post a letter to her on the blog, so she can hear from me while she is so far away and up in the dark.

This is the first day – it is warm and beautiful today – that I could make it through the snow pack and get to the meditation bench that Ed Gulley made. It is in the 50’s here, a far cry from the last few weeks.

The dogs came with me, you are right about where the bench ought to be, sitting by that stream is quite wonderful, the right spot.

I meditated for about a half an hour and the dogs just lay down near me and did not move much. Well, Fate moved a bit and came up and put her head on my knee.

I felt your presence very strongly, I closed my eyes, and you were sitting next to me, we were holding hands, and I thought of this great journey we are taking together through life.

And her, now you are in India, and we are 8,000 miles apart. Goodness, as Hastings would say to Poirot.

It was exciting talking to you today, I felt a new chapter coming in our lives, this trip has opened you up to your path in life in many ways, and I am eager to come along and support you, and also our work together. I am having my own epiphany, the Mansion work and the refugee work are opening my eyes to the possibilities for me as well.

I can’t wait to talk to you about it, all the love, me…
