What's Up with Bernie!

What's Up With Bernie!
Just read another NYT article that denigrates, in the typical sideways method of sophistry, (note the quote marks around the word revolution in the article’s title) Senator Sanders because he has been repeating the same message for thirty years. Although credited to his detractors, the underlying message of the article indicates that Senator Sanders’ “repetition makes him a doctrinaire ideologue, a broken record who lacks intellectual flexibility and fails to see the world any differently now than he did as a 20-something radical firebrand.” NYT “Bernie Sanders Consistent Over Decades in His Call for ‘Revolution’” March 25, 2016

The implication is that his consistency is a glaring reason why Senator Sanders is not capable of being the President. It is not of course significant that the nation has a Constitution, the Principles of which are still far from being embodied in Law, that has been saying the same thing for 227 years.

Another of Senator Sanders flaws is that while “most politicians will adjust their language, if not their message, to what they believe the crowd wants to hear, Mr. Sanders does not.” Of course most “politicians” who by and large are accomplished sophists, will adjust everything including the clothing they wear to satisfy what the crowd wants.

To do that would be completely against Bernie’s Character. I would guess that the notion never even occurs to him.

What is at the core of these unending efforts to cast the Senator as a radical firebrand turned buffoon, or a crazy old man is nothing new. It is the same technique that has been used to discredit and destroy or justify the elimination of every person who would dare challenge the power structure of the self-appointed rulers of Humanity. I could make a longish list of these great and lesser heroes starting with Socrates and including those individuals like Jesus who, over the centuries, have given all they have to further the Dream of Humanity while seeking nothing for their separative selves.   By the way, those who could not be gotten rid of in this sophistic manner were simply murdered. We could site several modern example of this method as well.

So why all of this effort to eliminate Senator Sanders for the field? It is another chapter in the ages old struggle between Reality and Illusion, or between the Principles of Cosmic Law and the delusions of the separated selfish materialists. The actors on materialist side of the struggle are individuals who are so identified with the material world that they either cannot or will not see the fact of the multidimensional reality of Cosmos. Thus they live to satisfy their conceptions of a separated reality in which the powerful are the rightful rulers of the weak.

However, not to worry, “From the beginning they struggled. From the beginning we conquered.”

Another part of the sophistic efforts to denigrate the Senator employs ageism. Usually this particular bit of darkness concerns the denigration of old folks. In this case it is cutting two ways. It labels Bernie as an outworn “broken record”, and at the same time, constantly mentions that his followers are “young”, therefore, not that smart, easily conned, lacking in experience and on and on. (Incidentally, “young” is an old thoughtform that is totally out of date as it is used to refer to human beings. First of all it has to do with the physical body, not the whole person. I have met many 10 to 30 year olds who have a much better grasp of what’s going down than vast numbers of those who are above 45. This is not a strange thing. It is evidence of Evolution.)

A very interesting point here is that the while the majority of individuals who show up at Bernie’s gatherings may be between 15 and 45 there are also a goodly number of individuals over that age. Labeling any of those who participate in Bernie’s meetings or who work for his campaign as followers is another piece of sophistry and ignorance. It is saying that they are deluded sheep following a pied piper or something.

My sense, and my experience with individuals of the so called “young age” is that they are not “following” Bernie as a personality. They are resonating to the frequency of what comes out of him, and not simply the speeches but the whole package. They are hearing with their hearts, not their programmed intellects. They respond to Principles not effects.

Bernie is relatively selfless. He is not into this for his “legacy” or for personal glory of any kind. People believe what he is saying is what he will attempt to do because of the frequency of honesty that he radiates. People do not “trust” Hillary because of the frequency she radiates. The heart can infallibly register these frequencies. The intellect cannot.

The Principles to which Bernie continually gives voice and therefore power are live energy fields. They are Ideas, images of cosmic Principles. They carry the foundations of the very rapidly unfolding Age in which we are living. They are the unavoidable aspects of the evolution of the Planet, and they will triumph. You can empower them with your will by voting for them.

Why Vote and Why For Senator Sanders?

The first one, why vote, is a no brainer. First of all, there is no such thing as not voting. Not voting is voting! It is voting for whom ever you think is the worst possible option. But that is just a fact.

Actually, consciously not voting is an act of moral turpitude. Strong word! Yes it is. By choosing to not vote one not only gives ones free will to choose how things will unfold to others, but ignores the millions of brothers and sisters who have paid dearly, dearly for our Right to Vote.

Not voting for any of the other multitude of reasons non-voters come up with is, likewise, a sell-out of what Democracy is, and it is also revealing of one’ self-centered ignorance. We, Humanity, are a collective, a unified field of consciousness. There is no my good and your bad, my eat and your hunger, my wealth and comfort and your poverty and lack of shelter, health care, education, humanity.

Literally forever, or at least as long as we have any written records, our Hearts our poets, our Teachers, our composers and musicians, our heroes of legend and life all of them, not the least of which was Jesus, have been telling us that each of us is all of us and we should do unto others as we would do unto ourselves BECAUSE WE ARE our others. Nothing is separated from the whole. Because of gluttony and greed others of us starve. It is a simple cause and effect fact.

So, Vote. Take your best shot, but take it.

Now, why vote for Senator Sanders.

Well actually, the Senator is our best shot at a multitude of possibilities. He is our best shot mainly because he is putting the POSSIBILITIES on the table.
Senator Sanders is not interested in the “legacy” or glory of Senator Sanders.

No true friend of Humanity ever is interested in what history will say about them. A, because they are not self-centered to begin with. and B. because, going in, they realize the only outcome will probably involve their demise, in one way or another, which it usually always does.

Senator Sanders is putting his entire life on the line. Why? Not to be the President, but to gain the Inalienable Rights of Democracy for all of us, to wrench the keys of democracy, freedom, dignity, and justice for all, out of the hands of the Keepers of the Keys, those of a self-adulating nature and retrogressive bent who have always been with us and been trying to keep us under their locks as “prisoners of the Planet”.

Presently these prison wardens are known as the Corporate Establishment.

There are no half-way measures in evolution. Evolution is unavoidable. It will get Humanity to where it is intended to go. Senator Sanders is doing everything in his power to put a light on that path. We cannot advance through half-way measures. At best we can maintain the gains that were made by full throated (interesting energy statement) efforts of those Heroes who have got us this far.

It is interesting that Hillary, that is Sir Edmund Hillary, was not a half way kind of guy. He climbed to the top of Mount Everest in 1953.

To get to the top of the Mountain, one must go there. Halfway measures will not accomplish that end. But Evolution is not a friend of halfwayness. So, first of all vote for Senator Sanders in any primary your involved in.

At the end, we do not, not vote. The heart, not an ignorant observer, will always take the best shot to move the climb to the top of the Mountain forward.
lots of love

From Illusion To Reality

From Illusion To
Reality
In his Republic, circa 380 BC E, Plato used a metaphor called the Allegory of the Cave to describe the multidimensional reality of the Cosmos in which we “live and move and have our being.” The metaphor has people in chains sitting in front of a blank wall. There is a fire behind them and all sorts and manners of things and objects pass on a raised platform in front to the fire casting shadows on the wall. The chained people, unable to turn their heads, see only the shadows directly in front of them. For these folks, the shadows of the objects passing behind them are reality.

The allegory goes on to relate how one prisoner is freed and, at first blinded by the light of the fire, is eventually able to see the things that were behind him. Eventually, having been dragged by the philosopher up the path into greater light, which involves the painful releasing of a continual string of illusion regarding the REAL, they finally reach the caves mouth. Again after a period of adjustment, the prisoner sees the Sun.

The prisoner now freed from his illusions of reality wants to free the rest of the prisoners too. So, he goes back into the cave to release the others. He is of course now blinded by the lack of light and the prisoners conclude that the exposure to light is painful and anyway, because of all of the totally weird stuff he is telling them about, he is nuts. They decide that they should get rid of him.

As we all know, Socrates was executed by the Establishment and Plato was sold into slavery.

The allegory is a metaphorical representation, an effort on the part of Plato to communicate what The Wise Ones have always known and a developing hard science has been trying to tell us since the Renascence. We of course know what happened to Galileo when he tried to point out to the Establishment that the Sun was the center of the solar system, a fact that had been know and demonstrated for a several thousand years.

This issue, the difference between the REAL and illusion, has been at the core of humanities struggle from the beginning. Plato, a Master of the Wisdom who along with another Master whom we know as Socrates, was Teaching in Athens. In his Allegory of the Cave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_Cave Plato, who was totally conscious of the fact of the multidimensional universe, using the only tools available, metaphor and the dialectic, demonstrated with utter clarity the infinite unbroken chain  of thought which links the dimensions of Energy or Reality with the thought created dense material forms which make up the material world.

The further removed from the Idea, the deeper into the cave of illusion, the less real is the formulation. The greater the striving to manifest the Idea in its purest possible form, the more accurate or Beautiful is the representation of Truth. As another visionary teacher/poet pointed out, “Beauty is Truth and Truth is Beauty”. We do not expect that individuals who are still living in the cave of intellectual ignorance to understand this simple statement of the REAL. Only the heart can comprehend a metaphor.

To say that to strive to build systems and character that more and more clearly out picture the Images of Truth, Ideas like Liberty, Freedom Equality, Justice, is unrealistic, is simply ignorance. It is to deny humans that which makes them human. The allegory is thus the story of every individual who has ever brought Light into the darkness of the great illusion of reality which imprisons us in a cave of ignorance, a cave from which we, humanity, have been struggling to free ourselves since the Beginning.

Basically, Truth consists of what we think of today as the Laws of Cosmic Physics. For Plato these Laws were embodied in a number of totally abstract, that is formless, IDEAS, which exist in the “formless world of Being”. These ideas are simply “images” of Truth such as Beauty, Justice, Liberty. These Truths, are eternal and everywhere present in Cosmos.

The Plato/Socrates Teaching and the revelations that accompanied them were deemed by the then Establishment to be “corrupting the youth of Athens.” (Truth always seems to have this “corrupting” effect, that is the determination to get out of the Establishment’s cave,  on the still alive ones. Youth has little to do with chronological age. It is a matter of Consciousness. The Wise Ones are always like little children, pure, loving, inclusive fearless, whole hearted…) Subsequently Socrates, who was the apparent Head of the Academy, was tried for these crimes, found guilty and sentenced to death. Plato was eventually sold into slavery.

This of course is the Establishment’s old age way of getting rid of “trouble makers”, those who would dare reveal the Truth. Incidentally in cases where mock trials are not available there is no hesitation to use assassination or murder. Think of Martin King and the Kennedys.

Today the present incarnation of the ancient Establishment seeks the control of the U.S. and desires to return the entire Planet to the rule of the “Deserving Few”. The DF’s are employing the ancient tools of materialism to continue to block humanity’s evolution. Basically, they maintain that if one cannot weigh or put a coat of paint on something it does not exist; it is not “real”. So all of the IDEAS upon which human evolution is based and toward which we have, forever, been striving are “idealistic”, dreams, fairy tales which are not achievable because they do not exist.

The Deserving Few mask their halfway hearts through the distortion and manipulation of common sense which they ironically refer to as “hardheadedness”.  While protecting their own wealth, prestige and position, they wear the sheep skin of being practical, hard-nosed “realists”. Those who strive for Principles are denigrated as foolish Idealists. Nice people, but they are just unreal. They believe in dreams of liberty and freedom for all which is an unachievable dream. And in its place the Hard Heads offer what they call practical or pragmatic, achievable things.

Their positions are natural effects of their mind identification with a one dimensional material world which they see as REAL. They are not necessarily evil, but in the ignorance of their intellectual fixations and the inability to see Reality, they consider concepts like Liberty and Justice to be non-sense. They point to the fact that such things are only ideal dreams, the do not exist.

The intellect rather than the heart drives their plans. Only the Heart can comprehend a metaphor, or the Plan.

The greatest hindrance to the evolution of either an individual or Humanity as a whole is the identification with where we are, our comfort with what we have either material stuff or our conclusions about what constitutes reality and value. Try getting a lover of gold to see that the gold is just a metal, a relatively dense form of matter, and that possession of multiple tons of it does not and will not make him a better person. Or try releasing a fanatic of this or that religion. Like the dinosaurs of old, they are trapped and dying in their canyons of comfort.

As was said long ago, “From the beginning they struggled, From the beginning we conquered!” We will  not be dying with them!

Ideas are not dreams. Ideas are “images of truth”. “… the images of Truth, which you call ideas, rule the karma of the world. It is astonishing to see how images of Truth participate in the spatial battle. While the multitudes disintegrate in a blind fury of ignorance and betrayal, the thoughts of Truth weave their heavenly nests, which for real evolution are far more vital than any worship by entire nations.” Agni Yoga #122

Dear Hillary

Saturday, February 6, 2016
Dear Hillary:
Because I thought that you would probably be nominated for President, I started writing to you to encourage you to get back in touch with the fiery heart that I first saw in your 1993 effort to get justice for the people in the area of health care. The fact that your effort called out an immediate and overwhelming assault from various sectors of the cabal of the super profitable health industry which would never run out of customers was indicative of how significant was yours and Bills opening salvo. It was also, at the very beginning of you time in the Office, a test of your courage and ability to endure in the face of momentary defeat and seemingly overwhelming odds.

The details of the years following that massive defeat reveal how you and Bill gradually slipped out of the space where were live the heroes who make Change Happen, a space of few if any rewards and frequently lots of pain,  and into the pit of "liberal pragmatic halfwayness" which is the last refuge of the too chastised or too wounded or too frightened to take the necessary risks for evolution. However it is a space that satisfies the ego and pays nicely for making changes that appear to do something while hiding the fact that they actually improve the positions of the retrogressive cabals.

Once you indicated that you were willing to compromise, you will recall, the bludgeoning only increased, as did your willingness to compromise. The heart was gone and was replaced by what we have been seeing in your actions of late. Self concern, Self preservation, personal advancement, and egoism replace the fire of the heart and take over the equipment.

This development is not that unusual and it is often a continuation of the testing process. It is a kind of disease that over takes a lot of us in the purity of our fiery youth. Actually it is a kind of karmic weeding out process that eliminates from the Great Struggle those who cannot presently endure.

I stopped writing to you because there was no evidence that you were getting or if getting, that you were not hearing. In the Democratic debates your self-concerned incrementalism, your liberal pragmatic halfwayness was front and center.

However toward the end of the recent debate you made the following statement regarding your feelings and concerns for the victims. "I mean, look, I care deeply about this because just like you I have met so many people who had their life savings wiped out, who lost their homes, who are barely back with their heads above water." And then in your closing remarks you made this statement, "So I have been moved by my heart ever since I was a young woman about the age of a lot of Senator Sanders’ supporters worrying what I can do to make a difference for my country, and I will bring that heart with me, but I will also tell you we’ve got to get our heads together to come up with the best answers to solve the problems so that people can have real differences in their lives that will make them better for now and into the future."

I thought that this was possibly an opening, that perhaps your advisers had been talking to you about the missing heart.  Hopefully, you will connect with your heart. However, one needs to be careful not to confuse one's emotions with the heart.

The heart is compassionate. It is not emotional. It does not feel personally bad or sad for people's suffering. It knows suffering on a very deep level. Perhaps you could ask the Dali Lama or the Pope, or for that matter, The President about Compassion.

The heart never sheds a tear, for tears distort the vision; however, the indefatigable power of the heart is not  force. It is love. The true heart understands. It intuitively knows the cause and the cure for what is generating the suffering, and it wholeheartedly and totally energizes actions that will eliminate those causes by impressing the mind with the directions and steps of what to do.

The heart is the Knower of the Way. The mind is the doer.

When the mind is not being directed by the heart or by Wisdom, but by the self-centered personality, its actions will always tend toward self or ego fulfillment. If the ego desires to  be seen as "liberal" then the actions will tend toward the kind of halfway measures which are seen as pragmatic because they represent little chance of not succeeding. They will not be "wrong" and cause a "loss of face" to the ego.


So, by all means Hillary, bring your heart, and let it be your true heart, that fiery heart of the young woman who put everything on the table. But be certain that the heart is telling the head what to do and not the other way around. This way you make a great President rather than another halfway one.
Lots of love

Letter to Paul Krugman

Friday, January 29, 2016
Letter to Paul Krugman
Dear Paul
Normally, I would have posted this letter on the comment section for the NYT. However, the comment section was closed by 8:30 AM PDT after only 429 comments. This is an insult to West Coast subscribers, and readers of the NYT.

Just for clarity, Paul, I was a completely confused Marine when you were born. But I have known for the past 50 years or so that there are no "American" oligarchs. There are just oligarchs. They infest every nation and they have been "so powerful" for as long as any history we have knows. Today, they infest and control what is known as The Establishment, and make no mistake, this is a world around operation.

Today's column appears to be the third establishment propaganda advertisement in a row that is masquerading behind what seems to be a liberal/progressive front. Amazing!

It is becoming apparent, now that "conflagrations are strong" or "the fat is in the fire", that your brand of liberal/progressive is only a halfway thing. When the going gets tough, your brand of progressive dresses up in its pragmatism suit and, congratulating its self on how smart it is, goes for the half-loaf.

I am sure that you are sincere and that you believe what you put in this column, "Plutocrats and Prejudice" in the 1/29/16 issue of the NYT.  However, it is not just "...an unacceptably downbeat vision?", it is loaded with innuendo and superficial half truths. Unlike you Paul!

For example, "the Sanders view is that money is the root of all evil. Or more specifically, the corrupting influence of big money, of the 1 percent and the corporate elite, is the overarching source of the political ugliness we see all around us."

First, "money" is simply the concrete manifestation of energy or power. And so it is not money, but the Love of money or Power that is the root of all evil. It's about Greed, Power, Exclusivity, and Divine Rights,  Paul.

 All of the other "evils" to which you allude, "racism, sexism and other forms of prejudice are powerful forces in their own right." True. However, these kinds of insanities are simply the effects of exclusivity, greed and separation. They have always been used as levers or weapons by the super powerful, exclusive few, the old kings and rulers, and the contemporary billionaire would be rulers to keep the not worthy humans in their cages.

This next comment is really off the wall. "On the other hand, if the divisions in American politics aren’t just about money, if they reflect deep-seated prejudices that progressives simply can’t appease, such visions of radical change are naïve. And I believe that they are."

Well, your use of the word "appease" is certainly revelatory. Those of our brothers and sisters who for thousands of years have been struggling with the forces of exclusivity, the progenitors and cultivators of slavery, which, by the way includes, sexism, have never been interested in appeasing these "deep seated" evils. From Socrates through Jesus, A. Lincoln, and countless other Heroes unknown and known, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, FDR., Truman, the Kennedy brothers, and MLK, these men and women were interested only in eradication of the evil force. They spent their lives in the pursuit of "Real Change" rather than the appeasement or halfwayness which you are espousing.

It is this desire for halfwayness that is naïve, Paul. Those interested in maintaining their control over humanity by the accumulation of money/power and the weakening of any levers of freedom and liberty are not in the least interested in any kind of halfwayness. They are not even remotely interested in right human relations, the Common Good or General Welfare. However, they love to hear the halfway strategy coming from the so-called pragmatists. It is the half open door to their continuing survival.

Finally, this comment, "And isn’t there something noble, even inspiring, about fighting the good fight, year after year, and gradually making things better?"

Actually Paul, no there is nothing about working toward a goal that gradually will make things better that is inspiring, let alone noble. To begin with, it won't make things better. It will simply maintain the imbalances in different clothes. To "fight the good fight" we need to be focused on total victory and not be halfway defeated before we even start.

None of those whom I mentioned above were interested in halfwayness. They were totally committed, and they spent all they had for their vision without regards to results. They were, and those of us who are involved, are striving for complete victory.

Long ago a wise brother observed, "People's striving is always measured by their service either to Light or darkness. By this may be judged their destination in life. Thus, the worst of all is halfway thinking and halfway striving. The destroyers always build upon halfway striving. There is nothing worse than a halfway servitor, for he screens himself by halfwayness. Therefore a direct enemy of Light is preferred by Us. We do not admit into the great battles the small worms that crawl in the mist." Hierarchy #302

"In legends giants crossed the seas, breaking off monolithic rocks. Let us resemble the giants and our thoughts the monoliths. Let us dispel any timid halfwayness, as otherwise it will take possession of us and deliver us to a shameful execution by beating with accounting books. We know monolithic thinking. When, think monolithically." New Era Community #238

Check it out Paul. The position your pushing has not and never will achieve freedom and justice for all.
Lots of love

Letter to Bernie

January 26, 2016
Dear Bernie:
In the opening few minutes of the Town Hall thing someone observed that "Hillary has the brains and Bernie has the heart. This comment, which got a big laugh, was probably the most revealing, and in my opinion, most important thing, as far as electing a president goes, said in the entire evening. I was/am wondering how many of the viewers and those present registered the significance of this profound discrimination.

I have been of the opinion that Hillary's experience and such would be good assets for a President, and that she has lots and lots of connections in the Establishment, plus tons of money and would probably get the nomination and be elected. I was/am also very aware of her glaring lack of heart.

I knew that in her youth she had heart. I watched her and Bill get pounded into the turf in the opening days of their first go at the Office. I think that defeat took a huge toll on their hearts. It was pretty much missing from the remainder of their time in the Office which was about being "realists" or "pragmatists", "a half a loaf is better than none".

Those years were, and from her performance last night obviously still are, about looking for a "sliver of common ground" in order to get the half a loaf. This approach of course did not spare them from further and more or less constant pummeling, and their time in the Office produced a very, very meager half a loaf,  more like a few slices.

The price we paid for those slices was enormous in terms of newly empowering the retrogressive push to undermine the power of the people or our Democracy and revert to the rule of the few. Since I thought that she would ultimately be the President, I wrote a number of letters to her encouraging her to re-connect with that heart that was in there somewhere. Obviously, this has not made a dent.

I loved and appreciated the powerful energy that the sacrifice that your presence in the field brought. Because you were working from the heart, putting out heart engendered ideas, my hope was that this would help open her heart. Unfortunately, she has apparently drunk too much of the "pragmatism Kool-Aid" and sees your position as simply "idealistic" non-sense which she opposes with her making the "tough pragmatic half a loafism" decisions.
This posturing will work well for her because there is an abundance of intellectually mind-mired individuals who sincerely believe that their pragmatic incrementalism is the only way forward. Not being able to see with the heart, they are for the most part very, very smart people who are blind.

It was pointed out long ago "The mind does not love fire, for it is always contending with the heart. The mind does not love wisdom for it fears Infinity. The mind attempts to limit itself with laws, because it does not rely upon flights. Thus it is possible to discover the earthly principle, and also flights into the Fiery World." Fiery World III,  463.

I plan to vote for you in the California primary. I will also be supporting your efforts in other ways as well. Given her connections and money, etcetera Hillary may be successful in her efforts, which is all the more reason to saturate the field with heart energy. My will is that you will be our candidate. I do think that the day of the Heart is here and that we need a whole-hearted and committed brother to be the point of its emergence in this hemisphere.
Thank you for willing to spend everything for the benefit of the Common Good.
Your Brother in striving.

Dear Mr. President



Saturday, January 16, 2016
Dear Mr. President;
Thank you for your wisdom. Thank you for expressing the profound and encouraging Truth about the State of the Union in your last address.

When you said, “I don’t want to just talk about next year....I want to focus on our future.”, you shifted the focus, from the usual blizzard of intellectual details turn people off, and literally hide the future, to the future. For many of us who are concerned with the future, this address was amazing. It was something that we seldom hear these days. I hope that in the remaining days of your Leadership, you will find many more opportunities to speak to the people in this manner. As you no doubt know, It utilizes the two most powerful tools we have to enable the future, “voices of unarmed truth and unconditional love.”

A great and growing number of people today understand that “future” is not a place in time but a place in consciousness. We are aware that change is not about another band aid program fix, but about “change that matters”. The journey of Humanity is and always has been about the expansion of consciousness which reveals our commonality, our shared humanity with all people.

When you said, “This is not a matter of political correctness. This is a matter of understanding just what it is that makes us strong. The world respects us … for our diversity, and our openness, and the way we respect every faith.” You were speaking to the future, to those of us who are conscious of our shared humanity. And as you said, although we do not get a lot of attention “those voices are out there.”

Many of us are out here. And we stand with you. We have our eyes on the future. And we know that the future already exists. The world the dreamers of Humanity have been visioning for centuries exists in consciousness. It like everything else requires a “critical mass” to bring it into dense physical time. We are rapidly approaching critical mass, and huge “changes which matter” which are hard to see, are and have been occurring in all areas of our lives.

I am certain that this time, Humanity will not heed the, “voices urging us to fall back into our respective tribes, to scapegoat fellow citizens who don’t look like us, or pray like us, or vote like we do, or share the same background.” As it was noted long ago by a wise person, “From the beginning they struggled. From the beginning we conquered.”
Once again, thank you for letting your light shine.
Lots of unconditional love

We do not admit into the great battles the small worms that crawl in the mist. 
M.M.
