November 1, 2003
Istanbul, Turkey
From my journal - Nov. 1, 2003 - "The
Mevlana Supreme Foundation gave us so many gifts
and so much Love.
I am coming to witness that there are indeed two worlds of extreme
opposites. For
the past four days, I was in a world of enlightened and awakened beings
emanating so much Love,
generosity and peace all the while we moved in our group
among the consensus world
locked in their fear and ignorance. For the first time
in this life I felt to
be among my true spiritual family."
4 of the scheduled speakers
- John, Meredith, Maggie and Sharon
outside the elegant Opera
Hall. What's that--an OM sign and Rhythmic Ripples of
the Cosmic Pulse on Sharon's
shirt? The shirt was consciously chosen to be
appropriate for the occasion,
of course.
As we stepped into the Opera
Hall Lobby, there was a trio playing.
