What an unbelievable gift that ...Oh, my God, Mary! What an unbelievable gift that you would find this, and take the time to let me know. Now it is people who stop me, slowing me down. It is my wife of 45 years, but it is the lost, especially the homeless, I've been given the see-feel-help-change model of living that begins by seeing. But as you write about this gift of seeing, I realize that it was this moment with your grandfather that began this process of compassionate awareness in me. So here in the darkness of the cave after Good Friday, I am so thankful for this gift of yours, bringing to me the light of that moment. I am grateful to carry that part of your grandfather in my heart. And now I am grateful to find this kind note of yours squeezed into this very generously packed heart as well. Thank you again and again, Mary.John Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093556296860836001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401975365602192811.post-85543162551592827772014-04-18T22:55:47.400-04:002014-04-18T22:55:47.400-04:00Dear Mr. Daniels,

Unbinding, letting go, setting others (and myself) free from expectations, demands, etc. Fly, be free. Be who you really are. Let me see it. I wait in anticipation to see the wonder that you are. May this be the message I offer to those I meet. Thank you, John, for your honesty, for sharing your truth. Finally, where can I find the awesome drawing added to this post?
