In Truth, Simplicity, Love and Service
.................
FEATURES:
I know the way you can get
When you have not had a drink of Love.
Your face hardens.
Your sweet muscles cramp.
Children become concerned
About the strange look that appears in your eyes
Which even begins to worry your own mirror
And nose.
Squirrels and birds sense your sadness
And call an important conference in a tall tree.
They decide which secret code to chant
To help your mind and soul.
Even angels fear that brand of madness
That arrays itself against the world.
And throws sharp stones and spears into
The innocent
And into one's self.
O I know the way you can get
If you have not been out drinking Love.
You might rip apart
Every sentence your friends and teachers say,
Looking for hidden clauses.
You might weigh every word on a scale
Like a dead fish.
You might pull out a ruler to measure
From every angle in your darkness
The beautiful dimensions of a heart you once
Trusted.
I know the way you can get
If you have not had a drink from Love's
Hands.
That is why all the Great Ones speak of
The vital need
To keep Remembering God;
So you will come to know and see Him
As being so Playful
And Wanting
Just Wanting to help.
That is why Hafiz says:
Bring your cup near me,
For I am a Sweet Old Vagabond
With an Infinite Leaking Barrel
Of Light and Laughter and Truth
That the Beloved has tied to my back.
Dear one,
Indeed, please bring your heart near me.
For all I care about
Is quenching your thirst for freedom!
All a Sane man can ever care about
Is giving Love!
- Daniel Ladinsky, inspired by Hafiz

Hello Beloveds! Yesterday we had a most auspicious and lovely gathering
for World Peace, followed by Kelley’s famous carrot cake…yummers! We took
some time to shift our energy, to visit ourselves in another time frame
before we set our intent. This was fascinating and awe inspiring. From
the energy of our own personal processes and our visualization-meditation
we set as our intention: “TRANSFORMING THE MESSAGE OF PAIN INTO FORGIVENESS
RAISES THE QUALITY OF OUR LIVES.”
We recognized that it is all too easy to reject and make wrong the pain that
comes to and thru us as Life affords us opportunities to see beyond our
conditioning. The pain we feel from life’s circumstances and from our own
programming is the way life speaks and communicates with us to get our
attention, to make us pause, stop and interact with it to learn and go
higher.
Often times it is our unwillingness to address the pain and the tension that
leads to pain that perpetuates it. Being willing to listen to the messenger
and being willing to surrender to it, diminishes it and allows us to learn
what it is saying to us.
Is your pain from unforgiveness, guilt, running away from yourself or a
specific issue or relationship? Are you too attached to an outcome or
unwilling to love your body-mind-life to slow down and be a living expression
of God’s love?
Be willing to listen to the messenger. Be willing to let go of past
attachments that keep you in unforgiveness and other conditioned behaviors
that no longer support you and your life.
Please join us the first Sunday of each month. We gather at 3
pm rocky mountain time, we take time to share, and breathe using
BBL -VFF breath/meditation and then we usually have a fabulous
baked goodie. You can join us wherever you are with BBL - VFF
breath/ meditation. Bursting the Body Light - Violet Flame of
Forgiveness. Victory to us! Jai Ma!
**Our next World Peace breath meditation: Sunday, March 2nd,
2009 / Using BBL-VFF Breath Meditation to INTENT WORLD PEACE
where there is willingness. Please join us from wherever you are.

No culture in the world has produced as many ways of worshipping God as
India has, nor has any other culture produced as many images of God to
worship. From the Ultimate Reality of the Upanishads, the unborn,
unchanging, deathless, formless existence-bliss-consciousness beyond
words and beyond the grasp of the mind, to the anthropomorphic deity
of a single tiny tribal village sung about in a folksong, for us all
conceptions and perceptions of the divine are equally acceptable.
While each of these is uniquely beautiful, it is difficult to imagine
a form of the formless that is more beautiful than that of the
ardhanarishwara, Shiva in his androgynous form, as half male and
half female. To stand looking at Shiva in that form is to be lost
in the beauty of the whole universe captured in a single image, to
be transported into a world of boundless bliss, to have a glimpse
of all the esoteric meaning of life revealed in an instant.
Shiva as the ardhanarishwara is the best example for the perfect union
of the complementary pairs that form the world and life in it: earth and
sky, light and darkness, day and night, male and female, birth and death,
pleasure and pain, all. At a human level, it is the highest symbol of love
possible between man and woman, and between the male and the female in
each of us. Like so many other yogic and trantrik concepts, the image of
Ardhanarishwara is in all probability born in a mind that had transcended
itself in the highest meditation.
However, the Kalika Purana tells us a very human story about the metamorphosis
of Shiva into Ardhanarishwara. This is the story of woman’s love for her man,
her possessiveness, her jealousy, her insecurity, her fears of losing her man
and his love to another woman – a story that is as fascinating for its infinite
charm and endless tenderness as the androgynous image is for its transcendental
wisdom. And this story is wise too in its own way, in a very human way. It is
wise in the ways of the human heart, particularly of the female heart in our
culture. Gauri here is every woman, especially every Indian woman. Her fears,
her insecurities, her anxieties, are every woman’s fears, insecurities and
anxieties.
…
Gauri, the story tells us, spent many years in severe austerities in order to
please Shiva and get his blessings. In he end Shiva appeared and asked her what
she wanted. What mother Gauri wanted was what every woman wants – the unwavering
love of her husband, his total and complete love, love that she won’t have to
share with any other woman. “If you are pleased with me,” said the mother of the
universe, give me the boon that you shall have no wife other than me.” Shiva, as
he always did with his devotees, was immensely pleased with this greatest of his
devotees, his beloved Gauri, and readily agreed to her desire. “So be it,” he
said. “I shall not have even a thought of another woman in my heart.” Gauri
flung herself at Shiva’s feet, tears of joy drenching her cheeks. Shiva lifted
her up and held her tightly to him, rejoicing in her joy, rejoicing in her
presence.
And then it happened one day. Shiva was sitting on a rock in Kailasa and
Gauri was sitting right in front of him, her heart dancing ecstatically
because she was with him. Nothing pleased Gauri as being with her Shiva.
She knew eternities could come and go as she sat in his presence, her eyes
intent on him, and she wouldn’t know a moment has passed, she wouldn’t want
to know a moment has passed. But all on a sudden a shudder passed through
Gauri’s body – her whole body was atremble with fear, with disbelief, with
deep, wordless anguish. The mother of the universe felt all strength draining
away from her, her body growing limp, a weakness possessing her as she had
never known in the past.
There, right in Shiva’s heart, was a woman. Another woman.
Gauri looked at her forgetting to blink her eyes, her heart forgetting to
beat. Who was she? Who was that woman in Shiva’s heart? Who had crept into
his heart unawares of her? Whom had Shiva taken into his heart so heartlessly
betraying her, betraying her love?
The woman was beautiful, Gauri’s eyes told her. More beautiful than any other
woman she had known. And she was young and desirable. And she seemed to be lost
in an ecstasy that was not difficult for her to understand. She had known that
ecstasy. Known it for ages. The ecstasy of Shiva’s love. Love that made time
cease. Love that made eternities fly away in a twinkle. Love that made you
light and float weightlessly. Love that filled your heart to overflowing so
that you wept.
That love was now that woman’s. The woman whose name she did not know, but who
had taken possession of Shiva’s heart. Ousting her from there. Making her
homeless. Making her unwanted. Making her life no more worth living. Tearing
her into shreds. Sending a million arrows into her heart all at once. Pushing
her down mercilessly into the darkest depths of a bottomless ocean, keeping her
down there relentlessly so that she suffocated, her body desperately thirsted
for air, for a single breath. And yet she would move not a muscle to save
herself, for living was now worthless, life had lost all its meaning, she
wanted to live no more.
An eternity passed. When was it that she had seen that woman in Shiva’s heart?
Was it a moment ago? Was it ages ago? When had she, Gauri, ceased to be?
The woman stared at her from Shiva’s heart, her eyebrows now curled. Oh, how
Gauri hated her!
And then she suddenly knew. She knew what she had to do. Once she had done
penance and won a vow from him. A vow that no more existed. She would do tapas
again. She would win her Shiva back. She would drive that woman, that usurper,
away from her Shiva’s heart. No, she did not want to live with another woman
in Shiva’s heart. Shiva’s love was hers. And she shall have it. She alone. She
was the only woman Shiva loved. And she shall be the only woman in Shiva’s life.
She and Shiva – they were meant for each other. They were one. And they shall
remain one.
Gauri got up and left Shiva. She knew where she had to go. She knew what she
had to do.
And Shiva’s heart writhed in unspeakable agony. Gauri was not just his woman,
Gauri was he. They were one, inseparably one. His heart wouldn’t beat without
Gauri. He couldn’t breathe without Gauri. He wouldn’t survive a day, a moment,
without her love. He needed her, as the fish in the sea needed water, as the
birds in the sky needed air. If he was the day, she was his light. If he was
the night, she was his coolness. He couldn’t exist without her.
Shiva found Gauri on a remote peak. She sat in a world of darkness. Streams of
tears flowed down her cheeks. There was no light in her eyes, only gloom,
unutterable, ineffable gloom. No laughter in them. It looked as though she
had never laughed – never once laughed in her life. There was no glow on her
cheeks, the glow he loved so much. And it looked like she did not breathe.
Was she his Gauri, or was she his Gauri’s ghost?
Shiva took his beloved in his arms. He held her tightly to him, pressing her
hard to his heart. And then he felt he could breathe. Holding her a little
away from him, he looked at her face, into her eyes. Into the face and the
eyes of the woman who was once his Gauri.
What might have happened? What might have happened to his Gauri to send her
into such chasms of torment?
Shiva covered her face with his kisses. Her eyes, her forehead, her cheeks,
her lips, her head. And then he called out her name. Gauri! Gauri! Again and
again and again.
The mother of the universe heard the sound coming from a distance. Shiva’s
voice calling her from the distance of eons away. Calling her from the other
end of the universe. From beyond the farthest stars. There was worry in his
voice. Pain. Deep agony. A sense of bottomless loss. Despair. Desperate urgency.
Her Shiva was in pain. Gauri felt like a wounded bird. Like a bird that has
been pierced in the heart by the cruel arrow of a heartless hunter. Her soul
writhed in agony.
She opened her eyes. Terrified eyes. Eyes filled with endless pain. She clung
to her Shiva. Clung to her Shiva for her dear life, for her life’s breath.
Pressed him close to her heart. To her aching heart. Her arms pained as she
pressed him tightly to her. There was terror in her. The terror of losing him.
How had she been separated from him?
And then she remembered. That woman. That woman in his heart. The cruel,
heartless woman, who had ensnared Shiva’s heart, made it her home. The beautiful
woman who had driven her away from her home, made her homeless, rendered her
life meaningless, destroyed her.
Pushing Shiva violently away from her, she held him by his shoulders. She
looked at his heart again.
There was no woman there.
Gauri drew Shiva to herself and collapsed against him. And then she wept.
Wept as she had never wept before. Not even when she had seen that other
woman in Shiva’s heart. Tears flowed endlessly from her eyes. Streams of
tears. Torrents of tears. Streams flowing down the slopes of the Himalayas.
The tears of the mother of the universe.
The tears of every woman’s torment. Every woman’s grief.
Shiva’s tears joined the tears of the mother of the universe. He held her
tightly to him, allowing all her sorrow to melt and flow away. And felt his
own heart growing light as she wept. Heaviness was draining out of him.
Violent tremors shook Gauri’s body. Again and again and again.
The world had begun to grow lighter again.
“Why, Gauri, why?” Shiva asked, words refusing to come out of his throat
that was still choked. “What happened, dearest one?”
And Gauri, once again breaking out in a torrent of tears, told him of the
woman she had seen in his heart. The woman who was not there now but was
there when she had left him. The beautiful woman, beautiful as she had seen
no other woman. The woman who had allured him, ensnared him, taken her place
in his heart.
Shiva sat confused for a moment.
And then he burst out laughing.
“Oh that woman!” he said, still laughing.
“Let’s go to the place where we were when you had seen her,” he said, as he
gently led to her to the rock on which they were sitting earlier.
When was it? A while ago? Ages ago?
Light fell on Parvati’s face as she sat facing him exactly as they had sat
then. The light of the setting sun made her face glow, multiplying her endless
beauty myriad times.
Shiva felt his heart melting in love for this beautiful woman who loved him
with all her heart and all her body, with all her soul. With a love that was
as powerful as the forces that held universes together. Maybe, more.
His Gauri. His love. His life.
“Look again into my heart,” Shiva said.
And Gauri looked.
And felt all the pain that had so cruelly burnt her blazing up again in her
heart, the waters of the seas that had drowned her rushing at her again,
suffocating her, making it impossible to breathe.
A scream escaped her. A piercing scream. A wail of endless torment.
Gauri closed her eyes. No, she did not want to see her.
“Open your eyes, Gauri,” Shiva told her. “Open your eyes and look.”
Shiva held her by her shoulders and forced her to look at him, at his heart.
And, slowly, very, very slowly, Gauri opened her terror-filled eyes.
And then, her face flushed. She blushed with embarrassment.
A smile appeared on her face. A smile that was timorous at first. Coy and
bashful. A smile that soon blossomed into the most beautiful smile that Shiva
had seen on his beloved’s face.
And the woman in Shiva’s heart smiled back at her. With a timorous smile at
first. Coy and bashful. A smile that soon blossomed into the most beautiful
smile possible.
And Gauri knew how beautiful she was. How beautiful her smile was.
Far more beautiful than she had ever known herself to be.
The Gauri she saw in Shiva’s heart was a million times more beautiful than
she had seen herself in any mirror.
And Shiva looked at his beloved and said, “No more shall you suffer such pain.
From today, you and I shall not be two bodies and one heart, but a single
united body, a single heart that beats with our love, a single soul glowing
in that love.”
And Shiva gathered Gauri in his arms and held her so tightly to him that the
two united and became one.
One body, one heart, one soul.
A single being.
Half male, half female.
The ardhanarishwara.

Everyone would probably agree that feelings of appreciation and
gratitude are positive states, but did you know that they also have
a profound effect on your physical body? Both of these states, as well
as those of compassion, forgiveness, happiness, non-judgment, patience,
sincerity and caring are all heart-centered feelings, which immediately
affect your heart rhythm. The heartbeat becomes more synchronized and
coherent, which improves hormonal balance and immune system response.
The heart has its own independent nervous system, referred to as “the
brain in the heart,” say Doc Childre and Howard Martin in their book,
The Heart Math Solution.
There are at least forty thousand neurons in the heart-as many as are
found in various sub-cortical centers of the brain. Childre and Martin
go on to say that, the heart's electromagnetic field is by far the most
powerful produced by the body; it's approximately five thousand times
greater in strength than the field produced by the brain. The heart's
field not only permeates every cell in the body, but also radiates
outside of us; it can be measured up to eight to ten feet away with
sensitive detectors called magnetometers.

What happens when the Bush Administration negotiates drug prices with
private industry using public money? To answer the question, just consider
the situation with U.S. government "negotiations" over the prices of
prescription drugs for Medicare: The Bush Administration not only agreed
to pay monopoly prices for medications, it also made it illegal for the
government to negotiate any discounts with pharmaceutical companies!
The result? A multi-trillion dollar taxpayer funded subsidy to the richest
corporations in the world: Drug companies. Click here to view the CounterThink
cartoon on this topic.) But it's not just the Bush Administration to blame
here: no presidential candidate seems to be free from Big Pharma control
other than Rep. Ron Paul, who is a strong advocate of genuine health freedom.
Even the Democratic candidates are pushing tyrannical agendas. Former U.S.
Sen. John Edwards, for example, has now publicly called for health care reform
that would force all Americans to visit conventional medical doctors on a
regular basis, then submit to chemotherapy drugs if any signs of cancer
(breast cancer, prostate cancer, etc.) were detected. It's a police state
medicine proposal, and it came out of the mouth of a Democrat.
When it comes to health care, drug prices and politics, both side of the
aisle have been bought off by Big Pharma. I cringe to consider what might
happen with health care if Hilary Clinton were to become president. Although
I'd love to see a woman in the White House, I'm not sure I'd want a health
care dictator in cahoots with Big Pharma calling the shots on national health
care reform.
No serious health care reform proposals
The truth is that no politician other than Rep. Ron Paul has any real plan
for health care reform. No one is talking about getting people OFF prescription
drugs and onto disease prevention diets, healthful lifestyles and low-cost
nutritional supplementation. The answers to preventing 90 percent of all
cancers in this country are right in front of us, yet no one is talking about
using a cancer prevention diet (plus sunlight and exercise) to stop this
epidemic of preventable disease.
No one is talking seriously about banning soda ads and junk food ads to children,
and Big Pharma has bought off lawmakers so completely that there's also no
serious discussion of ways to end the madness of direct-to-consumer drug
advertising (a dubious practice that isn't even allowed in most other
countries).
Rather than protecting the people, politicians are now in bed with the powerful
corporations selling foods, drugs and personal care products that actually harm
people. There is no real defender of the people who remains in power in
Washington. The entire power base has shifted to those sellout bureaucrats
who seem to be willing to sacrifice the future health of this nation in order
to solidify their own personal reelection campaigns with the help of corporate
donations (bribes).
The system is broken. A nation that was once designed so that lawmakers would
represent the interests of the common people has now devolved into a system
that only serves the interests of the corporations. The people are now
considered proxy voters to be brainwashed and manipulated into voting for
whichever candidate is going to concentrate the most power into the hands
of the few. As a result of all this, the future of this nation is in real
jeopardy.
An intoxicated nation
We have become a nation of drug addicts -- and I don't mean illegal drugs.
From the high-fructose corn syrup and caffeine in the food supply to all the
prescription drugs people now believe they need because they saw them on TV,
synthetic substances now dominate American medicine (and American tragedy).
An estimated 30 percent of all traffic accidents are now caused by people on
medication, and yet the drug companies are pushing even more drugs for yet
more fictitious diseases -- because, you know, there's always a way to add
yet one more pill to the daily chemical intake, right?
Over the last ten years alone, there has been a forty-fold increase in the
number of children being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. That's a 4000% rise
in the number of children with this so-called "disease." Gee, why isn't the CDC
involved? Any increase that large should be due to an infectious disease
pandemic -- if it were real, that is. But there is no pandemic, no outbreak,
and no real cause for alarm. The 4000% increase is due entirely to clever
marketing, disease mongering and the takeover of psychiatric medicine by Big
Pharma.
Modern medicine is the cause of disease
It increasingly seems like the only real disease in this country is the sickness
of believing in pharmaceutical medicine. It's a kind of madness, actually:
Thinking that a synthetic chemical can solve all your problems and put your
life in perfect order like those actors shown in pharmaceutical television
ads. I believe it will one day be viewed as a kind of cultural mass psychosis.
When it comes to health, our modern world has lost its mind, and the so-called
science backing it up has lost all touch with scientific reality. Modern
medicine is a hoax. Science has been abandoned for marketing. Safety has been
thrown out the window and replaced with profit potential. Ethics have
surrendered to greed, and we have now become a nation of mind-numbed druggies
who seem increasingly incapable of questioning the news, voting intelligently,
or understanding anything that's really going on in the world (such as the
coming collapse of the real estate bubble and the inevitable
hyperinflation of the U.S. dollar).
Here are the seven facts you need to remember about everything you're seeing
today in modern medicine:
Fact #1: 90 percent of all diseases (cancer, diabetes, depression, heart
disease, etc.) are easily preventable through diet, nutrition, sunlight and
exercise. None of these solutions are ever promoted because they make no money.
Fact #2: Nearly all the consumption of pharmaceuticals today is a direct
result of marketing to the public and covertly bribing physicians to write
more prescriptions. There is very little drug consumption based on
scientific merit.
Fact #3: No pharmaceuticals actually cure or resolve the underlying causes
of disease. Even "successful" drugs only manage symptoms, usually at the
cost of interfering with other physiological functions that will cause side
effects down the road. There is no such thing as a drug without a side
effect.
Fact #4: There is no financial incentive for anyone in today's system of
medicine (drug companies, hospitals, doctors, etc.) to actually make patients
well. Profits are found in continued sickness, not wellness or prevention.
Fact #5: Virtually all the "prevention" programs you see today (such as free
mammograms or other screening programs) are little more than cleverly
disguised patient recruitment schemes. They use free screenings to scare
people into agreeing to expensive and often unnecessary treatments that enrich
drug companies. Breast cancer mammography is a complete scam: The machines
actually cause cancer!
Fact #6: Doctors know virtually nothing about nutrition and are still not
taught nutrition in medical schools. Expecting a doctor to teach you about
how to prevent disease is sort of like expecting a car mechanic to show you
how to perform brain surgery. Although there are some exceptions (doctors
who have taught themselves nutrition), most doctors remain so nutritionally
illiterate that they have no familiarity with the natural plant-based medicines
found in everyday fruits and vegetables.
Fact #7: Nobody has any interest in your health except you. No corporation,
no doctor, and no government has any desire to actually make you well. Keeping
you sick makes it easier for them to control and financially exploit you.
Healthy, aware individuals are perceived as a threat to the tyrannical
institutions now running this country, and they've figured out that the
best way to keep a nation controlled and subdued is to drug 'em all and keep
the people in a constant state of brain fog from medications and fluoride.
The only healthy, aware, critically thinking individuals I know are all 100%
free of pharmaceuticals and processed foods (and watch no television, either).
Remember those seven facts and you'll know more about health and disease than
most people. And for your part, stay healthy! Work to safely get off all
prescription drugs, eat a diet of natural, wholesome foods (and avoid processed
foods), exercise regularly, avoid toxic chemicals in your home (throw out
those toxic laundry detergents and switch to soap nuts), and toss those toxic
personal care products (skin creams, cosmetics, shampoo, etc.). Stay natural,
healthy and alert. Be well, and you'll be the exception! And please, never be
so gullible as to think that your government is going to "save you" with a
new health care reform plan. Even if we switch to free health insurance for
everyone, the whole system is still based on toxic treatments that cure
nothing!

And Now, for something entirely different. Kelley recently found out
about an organization just over the mountain east of Las Cruces that
is very interesting. These people call themselves The Paragon Foundation,
Inc. 1209 Michigan Ave, Alamogordo, NM. They represent the
Constitution of these several united states. Their magazine is called
“Living Cowboy Ethics” and they also put out a monthly newsletter, “
The Loop” in print and then online. Both of these are an excellent read
and packed full of things we should have been taught in school, but were
not.
For a primer on what we ought to know about our Constitution and our Bill
of Rights go To: where you may read their
newsletters and get up to date on some interesting topics. These topics
include: your rights as land owners, (allodial title and land patent),
jurisdiction, UNESCO and World Heritage Sites, Should I Hire an Attorney?
and many more sensible questions. Check them out…They are here for you.

Have you heard about this case?
Great answer from the Judge in Florida
An atheist became incensed over the preparation of Easter and Passover
holidays. He decided to contact his lawyer about the discrimination
inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians
and Jews with all their holidays while atheists had no holiday to celebrate.
The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the long
passionate presentation by the lawyer, the Judge banged his gavel
and declared, 'Case dismissed!' The lawyer immediately stood and
objected to the ruling and said, 'Your honor, how can you possibly
dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and many
other observances. Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah...
yet my client and all other atheists have no such holiday!'
The judge leaned forward in his chair and simply said, 'Obviously,
your client is too confused to even know about, much less celebrate
his own atheists' holiday!' The lawyer pompously said, 'Your Honor,
we are unaware of any such holiday for atheists. Just when might that
holiday be, your Honor?' The judge said, 'Well it comes every year on
exactly the same date---April 1st! Since our calendar sets April 1st
as 'April Fools Day,' consider that Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says
in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, in my opinion, if your client says
there is no God, then by scripture, he is a fool, and April 1st is his
holiday! Now have a good day and get out of my courtroom!

Leonard Orr, Father of the Rebirthing Movement, says of this book:”
It is a fantastically powerful book. All Rebirthers should own a copy.”
“Without a Divine Mother there is no Life. She is First Mover, She
is First Cause and Effect. Without Her Intent for Creation, no Creation
is feasible. She is the Womb of Creation. She is the Originator, the
Activator, the Place of Gestation, the Trusting Parent who releases us
into the Celebration of Life. Thru Her all things are possible and
all possibilities exist.”
Mary Anna from Maui has this to say:
A Call to Those Who Want to Accept Grace…Toni Delgado has masterfully
'mistressfully?!' organized the contents of A Call to Mother's Grace
and Gifts in such a way that it will easily become one's Handbook.
There is such...well-grace in her writing. While reading her latest
book, one will literally feel the heart beating rapidly because one's
body truly 'gets' what she communicates so well or the heart beat
becomes soft and measured matching the breathing that permeates
throughout the book. The choice while reading is to become healthy
or healthier in mind, body and spirit. It's even better if one knows
Toni and has sat in her living room because her intonation, caresses,
humor and acceptance make the passages, the words come alive. If one
has not had the gift bestowed upon oneself of knowing Toni, after
reading this book, you will find yourself calling or emailing Toni
to thank her for her clarity, her compassion, her passion for life
and her part in making the world a
better place, one breath at a time. We are all called to know our
Mother and accept her grace and gifts. Toni lovingly with humor shows
us how in this gem of a book.”
