My dear DF,
I came to your blog by way of a link to your Pesso-Boyden experiences from their main website (a family member has begun some work with them and recommended their site to explain, if that is possible, what he is doing). Your description was so captivating that I actually became more interested in you and your lovely, quirky, psycho-spiritual outlook on yourself and the world. I've immersed in reading all the archives of your blog... I am up to about this time a year ago!
I am enamoured of your pursuits... psychological, physical, spiritual healing and growth. More, more!
You mention, at some point where I am reading currently, your perhaps wanting "fame" and to interact and be influential. Can I tell you: you have succeeded? I have followed many of your links: for The Wild Divine, for more info on ISF, to various books and blogs. I've laughed; I've cried (truly... the story of the 4 year old boy and his Cinderella dress struck like sharp ray of energy into my soul... I am still processing that one, and will perhaps for a long time).
Well, in any case, I just felt that I should step out from the shadows of the internet briefly to say hello and thank you. Isn't it amazing? Your intention of increasing your influence is indeed manifesting, and I just thought you should know.
all the best,
d

Dear Dakota,
I have just read Desmene's wonderful posting. It touched me very much, as it did you. I was equally moved by your response to her. Only one thing I would add...that although I have followed a different path than she did to arrive at your blog, I agree with all of her observations about the light you cast. Your blog is like an amplifier, picking up quiet sounds inside you and making them audible to others. (Please forgive the mixed metaphors.) It amazes me that all this has been inside you for so long, waiting to come out. How lucky are we to be within hearing range.
Your faithful blog-rat. Mrs. W

Oh sweetie - Do they make plastic covers for keyboards? I'm crying again, and I'm sure it's not good for my electronic equipment.

Thank you for your amplification. I loved the metaphor, although I couldn't figure out what was mixed about it. For many years, all the sounds inside me were, indeed, quiet. I have the internet to thank for the unending expansion of consciousness it supplies. (Speaking of mixing metaphors)

Isn't it ironic that technology has provided an opportunity for so much expression to a person who can't even read directions?

I feel so blessed by your presence in both of my lives-- real and cyber.

Gratefully D

Dear Dakota,
Thank you for your loving response...I feel likewise blessed by your presence in my lives. The "mixed" had to do with the references to light and to sound, but you got my meaning.
I agree with you about technology...isn't it always true, (as all therapists, lovers, parents, and everybody else knows). that our greatest curses are also our greatest blessings? With love, Mrs. W

What a truly heartwarming experience to read how people respond to your warm and quirky writings. My heart softens to know that it is safe to share ones personal odyssey into such loving hearts. I guess it's true, it's all supposed to be fun and joyful.
