Kathy and Rapunzel - thanks for your shares.

Kathy it's kind of neat that you did that as a kid. Reminds of a movie I just saw but I don't remember the name. Where 4 girls use to come together and do this little ritual and one was a queen and she named the others. Years later her daughter came to the ritual and became close with her mother - it was neat. By the way - I'm sure your friend is not in Hell either - I'm sorry you had that loss.

Rapunzel your right - we should all be able to rejoice in earth. It's such a pure an enlightened feeling. I think part of the problem is that as we get overcrowded we tend to forget. Now that I'm back in RI I am going to start looking for some ponds and streams that I can go an commune with on a regular basis to keep this spiritual feeling inside me.

Tranquility
