1/11/10 call from Judy/ meditation class/ CATS are back

Just as I'm ending my Gita study, I get a call from Judy B. She wants to share a book that we've been talking about for awhile. The author is a Kali shaman, who was chosen in his native india at age 9 years. Judy went to California to study with him and found her inner Kali--her strong, spiritual voice. He talks a lot about the meaning of animals in our lives and how to spiritualize the material. So I see this is the book for me. I was happy to order a copy. It ended up that Judy had 2 books and is sending me her spare. I'm looking forward to reading it.

Judy shared some of her experiences with Amma. They were truly amazing, but not for me to share.

At the end of the summer, my last morning with Bapuji this year, most of the devotees went to a yajna. But Bapuji kept Luke and I and another couple with him. The woman was a devotee of Amma. I've read books on Amma which are fascinating and a have a piece of her sari covering my Gita. After darshan, we had breakfast in Nayna's kitchen. The woman gave me the bracelet that Amma gave to her. Now Judy has suggested that Luke and I should visit Amma this summer. Hummm.

In her book, Amma talks about healing. Maybe that's how my healing miracle will come to me.

Finally I had to hang up and get ready for class. Talking to Judy was satsang and it put me in a very peaceful state for class. We had a new student. She's naturally pita, so I was surprised when she went into a deep meditation and supported the class. The class was spiritual silk. I slipped into a deep meditation. Luckily, Luke made a sound and brought me back so I could end the class.

After class, the new student came up and asked me a question. It turns out that her daughter is Willow, my secret name. So there's a bond. Willow is a crystal child, very amazing and very difficult to raise . I'm excited to work with Cheryl on creating a nurturing atmosphere for Willow to be all she can be.

MKate came over for lunch. She was going to help me find my kittens. We decided to eat and then drive around looking for the kittens. Luke went into the house first and he yelled out--it's the kittens, they're here. We were so excited. Luke brought the kittens in the house right away. Greyling loves him and kissed his nose right away. Pumpkin looks a little thin. I'm worried.

They ate outside. Pumpkin ate a few bites and then went for a drink. He's thirsty all the time. That worries me. Greyling ate the whole thing herself. It was a lot of food. She ate a whole can of Fancy Feast with 1/2 cup of crunchies and two vits. She was hungry poor kid.

The 18th is their day to visit the vet. I hope that Pumpkin is healthy. Luke and I have to have the kittens ready for surgery at 7:00 a.m. on the 18th which means that we have to keep them in the house. Somehow. God will really have to be behind this.

I spent the rest of the day doing house things--laundry and etc. It's nice to get chores done. I'm looking forward to organizing the house. We're starting next week.
