I sent you this thought in an email, but wanted to share it with others, so here it is: LIVE!
Dear Sister Holly,
WHOA! I really appreciate the time you are taking to enlighten the world with the "Thoughts of the Week". I particularly enjoyed this one, because of the lengthy-ness of it. A lot of things you spoke about triggered my memory to the days of studying with my spiritual mentor. The triangle, the trinities ... A lot to talk about. Maybe now that I'll be home more often, we can discuss this stuff via email or telephone.
But to keep it brief, for now, you asked our opinions of fear and longing; or fear and loving. How about a different perspective? Loving and longing. When I thought about this, I thought of my younger days - definitely being motivated by fear and longing or fear and loving. But as I grow older, wiser, and more content, yet still driven (longing) the fear lessens. Do I
dare be silly enough to say "fearless"? I see how life falls into place - and what is there to be afraid about? When I was younger, I feared the
unknown: What will my life be like in 10 years? Will I make it on my own? Now that I know, I can do almost anything in a pinch, well, hey
The good news is that the results of getting what I longed for bring loving. The happier I am, the more I can help other people (the ones who are also longing at this stage of the game).
Feel free to share my thoughts (and name) if you find them relevant. I am very tickled that you used my quote about "when the student is ready, the master appears"
Love and Light,
Mary Anne xxoo
P.S. Keep up the good work. You certainly have my nod of approval and I hope you are saving all these thoughts for a book! Do it!
