Speaking about candles... :-D; would you know that I burned two candles yesterday (normally one, but that one candle kept burning for ever ;-) !!)
for the release of my friend George jr. His PB was renewed,for the previous one was not done properly! The interviewer bij then (a woman) had most of the time spoken of politics... instead of his being state, to be judged later on. The voting people did hardly know anything at all about his state.. so they did it anew yesterday.
George jr, already is a pen pal for more then 10 yrs!! could this time become free!...
We'll know on the 26 th of September. His dad (90 in September) and me visited him lately in jail. I could visit 6hrs/day and did 12 days! His dad came on his birthday. ;-)
Would'nt that be the greatest birthday present ever for his dad!!! His only sun being released after so mamy yrs! :-o
I pray for that to become real!
And of course you can think of us in your prayers, Lp :-))
Hey David, I am so happy to have this to send you shout outs when In between kites. I love reading all the writings you send in here. I have some more of them I will add to these as soon as I can get to them again and have a little while to type them. I "hunt and peck" one finger at a time. Takes a while for me to get I it done. I LOVE YOU, HMBS&S. Yours always, Zahra

Thank you so much for the book review! Now I know which book NOT to read this summer! Your article was very well-written, with an expansive vocabulary, hilarious sarcasm (I LOVED the excise joke!), and vivid imagery (I really liked the novice chain sculpture-Venus de Milo contrast; it's very imaginative on two levels). Please keep up the good work, Nate! I look forward to your next article! --Calhoun25
Thanks, Rita, your quotes are really of great value!
Just want to tell here I am sitting in the dark, with only burning candles lighting the room and some smooth meditation music on the background. I find peace with myself this is necessary because I too have turbulent times at this moment...
We can always return to our centre, when we get silence in ourselves, putting down that little voice within us telling us we're worth nothing...
There's another, very much more silent voice within ourselves, the one that you only can hear when you carefully listen to it, that's our inner voice and personally I believe that through that tiny little whisper God speaks to us gentle words of Love... By the way there's a beautiful story in the Bible telling God is not in the thunder, not in the fire, but in that tiny whispering of the breeze...
Well I think I get a bit spiritual here... Hope you both don't mind, Kelly and Rita...
You both take care! I pray for both of you, if you don't mind!
