THE NECESSITY OF HAVING ALLIES: THIS POST FOR MY DARLING HUSBAND, PAYSON

. . . who faithfully reads my blogs and is the sole commentator! Really, in life one needs only one solid ally to proceed with faith and hope. I recently read a quote somewhere that an abyss separates being lonely and having one ally. Payson is  'faithful' in every sense of the word. I can have faith that we won't abandon me for someone else; that he will stand by me, and support me in all the areas I need support: emotional, intellectual, physical, financial, spiritual. His support is not in the spirit of MY COUNTRY (OR WIFE, OR RELIGION) RIGHT OR WRONG, but in the spirit of truth, honestly. Without this important caveat, without an ally who will point out to you where you go wrong, what good is an ally?

  1. It's a vast Universe with plenty of space to be lonely...finding a partner/friend/ally is a great gift. Is it karma? merit? luck? perseverance? open heart and desire/need for love/companionship? Nu? who knows...all we can do is give thanks for each other and our family and friends, who are also allies. And may they in turn find theirs....

    Here's a video link with NASA probes and the Music of the Spheres....amazing:

  2. And of course Priya, dear and ally makes dealing with all the practical aspects of life a bit easier. You in Chandigarh taking care of shopping/chores needed for life at Behta Pani, me here, working with Himat and Tek Ram replacing all our leaky skylights or the details of our NY trip. What fun!
