Heavenletters

Dear Mary, I'm sure there is no need at all to feel sorry. You wanted an orange ("magic", "poetry", "romance", "grace") and feel you got an apple ("obligation"). It's a little disappointing. So what? Let me tell you I like your comment very much and I'm not kidding. I wish for all of us to come to this simple opneness and honesty more and more. I love it. I bow to it.

I can relate to this Heavenletter a little more because getting an apple when I wanted an orange has been one of the deeper experiences in my life. I'm speaking about people who always know better than you what is good for you (and not just in terms of fruit). They either shout "Basta!" right away or first pretend to discuss matters with you, but it always ends with that very same "Basta!"

But is this Heavenletter about these matters at all? There are a few things I'm finding a little disquieting, like: ....each person lives in his own world, and yet, still, each person is everyone. You are everyone and everyone is you. Everyone shares the same spot. What does that have to do with apples and oranges? With serving? In the world there are people that you more easily get along with than others, yet there is nothing in any human heart that cannot link with any other human heart. Could it be that "linking" is the deeper theme of this Heavenletter? Linking with whom, serving whom, giving to whom? Isn't this a strange way of putting it ....you have the possibility to give to the form of yourself who stands before you with his hand out.

And this, I feel, is a promise: your heart will burst open like a beautiful flower.

Am I trying to magically turn an apple into an orange for you?
