Dear Friend
She goes by many names, Holy Spirit, Great Mother, Mataji, Ma Kali, Kwan Yin, Sophia, Mother Mary... and those are just some of Her female appellations!
All forms are Her form.
All names of the Divine are Her name.
Why limit our delight to just one!
The mystic's vision penetrates all veils.

The Enlightened Heart, Stephen Mitchell, ed., p. 42
Holy Spirit,
giving life to all life,
moving all creatures,
root of all things,
washing them clean,
wiping out their mistakes,
healing their wounds,
you are our true life,
luminous, wonderful,
awakening the heart
from its ancient sleep.

Thank you all

newsletter.
Everyone has
the heart to be a true friend of the soul, an
"Anam
Cara." By embodying that ideal ourselves we
may serve to help
others to find love and compassion within
themselves and the world.
Our highest nature is always
manifest in
relationship - to all other beings, to the
environment, in relation to our own body and
mind. Becoming mindful of the quality of our
relationships

Cara is to
continuously endeavor to expand the depth
and the
inclusiveness of the loving kindness we bring
into
every relationship, every moment, every breath.
