Kissing the Joy as it Flies
I
was deeply touched by the poignant outpouring of your love
over thirty spiritually heartfelt years.
•
This is an epic project
which lays bare your openness and vulnerability
in loving each other so deeply
despite the tremendous
obstacles on your path.
•
I had decided I might never fall in love again,
but
after reading your book, I feel it might be possible.
You have given me hope.
•
I have just
fallen in love after many years of distress,
and I find that every word you write resonates within me,
now that I have found love again.
•
I do not feel many people could achieve in a lifetime,
the special love and relationship you have shared.
•
It is a privilege and an honour to read your book
and to allow us into your world
in
such a total uninhibited way.
•
I can see from your letters,
that you lived in a tantric relationship,
where love became so spiritual,
you experienced the divine.
•
I
believe your book will become very significant for others
long after you are gone.
It will take on a life of its own.

IF – a mother to her daughter
I lost a child who was several months old, and reading your poem
brought
back the feeling of loss in a very poignant way.
It meant a lot to me.
I felt you understood what I had been through
and that is the
essence of a poet:
being able to stand in someone’s else’s shoes,
as if it was their own experience.

Your book is wonderful.
What a gift to all women.
It made me cry.
I am going to give a copy to MY mother.

Song of Love
I was again reading your poetry last night.
Many thanks to you for the experience
and all the heartfelt projection of love.

Journey of a Sannyasin
What a delight to read a joyful personal account
of your experience in the ashram.
Your joy shines through it all – even in the hard times.
I read Journey of a Sannyasin in
the morning in bed when I woke up,
and just had to read it all.
I loved the way you put the various stages of your journey
together
with your poems.

I started reading Journey of a Sannyasin in the evening
and could not put it down until 4.30 in the morning.

I have started reading Journey of a Sannyasin
and am looking forward to completing it.
You have a sincere Sufi-like heart,
and I admire your commitment and tenacity
in completing these volumes.

How delightful, how tender and precious
is the relationship with Bhagwan
that you describe in Journey
of a Sannyasin.
I am reminded (once again) of the smells and sounds of India,
the bird calls at night and the ashram garden.

There is a lot of wisdom from your experience.
I’m so glad you are now sharing your writings
with the world at large.

I am impressed by your gift for expression
and the beautiful flow of your words.
I wish I could write like that.

I found your website
elegant and easy to use.
I also read your two new books - IF and Journey of a Sannyasin
from cover to cover at two sittings.
It has been a
long time since I have read poetry,
and I found the experience of reading yours,
extremely enjoyable and enlightening.
I enjoyed how,
in the poem IF,
you covered the multitude of situations
which can be faced in life – in a positive manner.
