Dearest Grace,

I know I have a purpose here
and I know that purpose is great.

I just don't know exactly
what that purpose is yet.

So until I know exactly
what I'm supposed to do,
I'll just Love.

I know I'm good at Loving.

Maybe through my Loving
I'll find what it is I'm to do.

Maybe in my doing of Love
I'll find my purpose.

Or maybe I'll just be Love
and let the "Being of Love"
be purpose enough.

I'm open to suggestions.

Amen.

Wow...I love that. It's so in line with the idea of letting go and letting things come to you. Which is hard for a control freak like me. I always borrow from AA..."Let go and Let God". It's very freeing. :-)

Amen, sister. Who knew that surrender held with it so much Power...the power of Peace.

you can delete this, i just don't have your email to write~
i wanted to tell you that your work and writings are making a difference for me in my life. i had turned a corner and found myself in the basement. i was praying for strength to dig myself out and that's when *you* helped me rediscover yoga. and myself.
thank you.
