: rat,

: I am glad to hear your book is becoming a
: reality. I know you have poured a lot of
: yourself into it. I feel your words will
: reveal to the open minded a benevolent heart
: rooted in the natural rhythms of existence.
: Over the past few years I have come to think
: of you as a midwife to the highest good of
: each pregnant moment. I am confident that
: you will add something of note to the
: literature where the shift from dualistic
: thinking to non-dual awareness is concerned.
: Bravo!

: You are too kind Butcho.
:
: �When the mind is transparent and pure as
: if reflected on the mirror-like surface of
: the water, there is nothing in the world
: that you would dislike. When it is serene
: as the light breeze in the sunshine, there
: will be no one whom you would like to
: forget.�

: rat,
:
: If I have told you once I have told you a
: thousand times, I am not too kind. I am one
: of a kind.
:
: .... Sounds to me like Pa-ta had Wa-ta on
: the brain. And yet he was an airhead. Go
: figure.
:
: Jus' kiddin'.
:
: Sorry, I have been in this mood lately.
: Every time someone other than me gets
: serious it seems I have to choose between a
: heart attachment and a humidor and since the
: ladder has a rung missing I naturally jump
: around quite a bite for such a small dog.
:
: Wayne Long. will translate for the kitty's.
:
: Maybe now that you are nearly done trying to
: please the Parabola crowd you can hang out
: here a little more. Snobs anyway. The water
: really is quite fine here. Except of course
: when it storms. Such is the ebb and flow of
: existence.
:
: I hope your book sells a million copies.

: Butcho

Thanks Butcho. I think anyone who understands apophatic mysticism would not write a book about it.
love,
rat
