[MD] another glimpse of Lila

[Margaret Warren]

great posts Marsha -

I haven't had much time to participate lately,
but I've really been enjoying your posts of 
Octavio Paz and particularly enjoyed the
selection from "In Light of India", I think I 
will read these as well myself. It was a 
nice parallel to Lila. 

BTW to you and SA: dock is almost finished with a 
400 sq. ft platform over the boat house
which gives a stunning panoramic view
of the bay. Every evening just after
the sun sets - 3 sometimes 4 great blue herons 
fly low across the bay to go to their
night time sleeping spots. A wonderful
pattern...


dreaming, I am awake
awake I am dreaming
dreaming I am awakened
