Dear Shirley:

Simply beautiful.

Not wanting to be in the sun so not to be seen with flaws… and then moving to the sun, free to be seen, flaws and all… but then with the divine love between you and your special friend, the buddha and the angels, there really is no such thing as flaws.

In the sun, facing the light and the warmth of the sun, there are no flaws.

Your special friend told you: ““you’ve taught me… that it’s okay to have flaws, it’s okay to fall at times. the important thing is that you pick yourself up and keep going. you made me a better, more compassionate person and that’s what matters.”

You made him better because you let him know it is okay to expose your flaws to the light, to fall, to be afraid… you let him know these things because you did all that, you fell and you let him pick you up; you were afraid and you let him comfort you… so in turn he can do these things himself… he can fall, and you will pick him up; he can be afraid too, and you will comfort him.

He told you: “i don’t care about your flaws because i love you.”

I will write more tomorrow, read your poem then, there is just so much beauty I can take in during one evening. I am going to take your image of letting the light of the sun shine on my face until there are no flaws… I want to glow in this image.

Till tomorrow… Thank you.
