The blessings of Annushka (God inside ourselves)

Dear Jayne, thank you, I couldn't help it, she is such an inspiration for me in so many ways, & I love her humility & natural almost childlike joy in life, I feel I know her & she is part of me, amazing how that can happen without even meeting someone. Thank you for your encouragement. I am being so naughty stealing this time on Neo (ton of packing to do), but it is so addictive & I so love all of you clever writers of generous heart. Be well Jayne Chloe (love that name), you look so beautiful & innocent in that photo, I know it is a tricky time for you but it doesn't show dear girl, I admire that. Cheers Anni~ "To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." ~William Shakespeare, Hamlet.

Ah, sweet Dale you are a soft heart & a deep man, these things you have written are so lovely I have a teary eye... Damn, Neo does that to me too often (snicker). Aren't we so lucky here, so many amazing writers & wonderful souls... There is no comparison with what we write, the virtues in your style stand alone & brighten this already lovely day for me. Thank you dear Dale, a lovely tribute to all of us don't you think? I adore Annushka, she was really the first heart I adopted here on Neo & I am more endeared as the yearhas passed, but you have crept quickly to that lovely reverent place as well, & you are most welcome there my friend, as you are gentle & undemanding, generous & understanding... I see your soul facing the good of life like a lovely flag moved by the winds of destiny (my god that sounds so prophetic, I have to chuckle at myself!)... but it's true it is the image I have of your gentle acceptance of how life is... perhaps I am projecting my own aspirations, but I really do suspect it's in you). In this poem is the essence I so love about love & life... it is what love is in a way, to me anyway, that beautiful mirroring of the good in each other, the desire to encourage growth without harm or destructive action, the sharing or joining of minds beyond egos & material wants... I confess I am greedy for this, I feel I would never have too much, nor do I feel I would ever run out of the desire to offer it back to the world. I love reciprocation, it is a fine & wonderful cycle of exchange of goodness... thus my eventual point, it is what makes god in us & what inspires the desire to share that & seek it in each other... not the traditional sense of God, but a sense of harmony between our selves & all humanity & everything else out there. You light that in me also Dale, I hope I offer you such, that would make me even happier... I think it is what you were saying so I am smiling... Yay, life is good xx Cheers Anni~ "To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." ~William Shakespeare, Hamlet.

Suchness dear Annushka (chuckle), yes indeed sometimes these are the best words to fall to, look at you in your warm cap, radiating smile, seeing eyes & camera... suchness you are, how could I not love ya wamon! It is more than a pleasure to write this... it just fell out word after word after reading your email & seeing your beautiful paintings, you are a precious joy. Yes I am so glad we all know it, lovely Jayne, & Dale are vigilant fans as I am, firmly enamoured of your whimsical suchness... yes, we are very happy they do gentle lovely being we have around us yes, I love this. & through it as I realised by the end of that write, is the way to us loving ourselves as generously, it is too often a struggle to do so for most of us, sad really, we are so ready to give it away. But dear Annushka, we are on the right track here, you weave your lovely magic & the ripples spread as they have here... Love to you ... & Jayne Chloe & Dale & all the other lovely hearts here & in the world. xxx Cheers Anni~ "To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." ~William Shakespeare, Hamlet.
