Hi Silvia,

When I originally mentioned that #$%^&* metaphor in passing some time
ago, I had no idea that it would generate such foofarah and now to
observe it arise again from the depths of castigation and shame, and
be seen once more in all it's basic truth was quite astounding!

However I must humbly mention that you still don't quite seem to have
grasped it completely yet. Getting close though:-)

I was totally entralled by your TF sharing. This is an incredibley
important reminder to us all who are pursuing this many faceted
energy journey together. Makes Lord Of The Rings, seem awfully boring
doesn't it?

Blessings, Nels
