Long time since we many of us met, but yet I feel so strongly connected to our shared values.
In Nigdi, Awakins are happening every week. How? Magically? Don't know. Every time I look, I get no answers so have given up.
Here's a glimpse of yesterday's Awakin Circle:
Mark comes with his team from Maher. They come so religiously, rain or shine. It takes them two and a half hours one way by rickshaw -- that's five hours of commute! -- only to sit in silence and share in the circle.
I simply keep bowing. What else?
Yesterday, I ask Mark, "Before leaving, are you traveling anywhere else in India?" And his reply just stilled me. He said, "No, just had to come to Nigdi for Awakin."
Mark is long-time ServiceSpace friend. He sometimes jokes, "multiple lifetimes". :) Back in 2004, Sheetal and him even did acts of kindness in Iowa! Sister Lucy, who met him this year, exclaimed on his first day, "What a noble soul!" You get the idea that everything is sacred for him -- and yet with full masti and humor. :)
A young girl named Vera from Austria was so thankful yesterday only because she did her favourite job of washing the dishes. She was super happy and was always expressing her gratitude.
Every Tuesday can see a radiant pull they have of coming from so far and not tired at all after commuting so much.
We feel blessed to have opened our doors to 'so-called strangers' -- when actually nobody is one. Again and again, as Ramdass said, "We are just walking each other home."
With bows of great love ... in service!
