Ten days late, *thank you* for this kind message, Purnakama. Your
chiming is music to my ears. Sometimes it is not so comfortable baring
one's soul to the whole world. It is more solace than you may know to
find that my words sometimes find a safe harbour of kindness.
Just because someone might find it relatively easy to put their
thoughts and feelings into writing, does not mean those thoughts and
feelings are any less vulnerable in a public arena. It means a lot
when someone takes time to say how they feel, and sticks their neck
out to do so: either in an original message or in response to one
written by someone else. I don't do this myself as much as I could.
To any silent readers out there, I hope we hear from you soon, even if
it's just to say hello. I know even that might not be easy (really, I
*do*), but it might just be worth the effort. It's sometimes lonely
out here on the public limb :-)
I love the sound of many church bells ringing together in a round, I
love the sweetness of many hand bells playing a tune; so much merrier
than one tolling into a void. Oneness seems more important now than it
ever was.
Sumangali
Bringing some bells and bidding you ring, dear World (even cacophonously)
Go on, I dare you
