I have met The Universal Mother...

and now I feel blessed. I received Darshan today with Amma ... and WOW... what an amazing day. Cory and I took the kids and drove up to LA to see her at the Hilton. The kids didn't really know what to think and I wasn't sure if there would be a scene or not (whole nuther story).

We received our Exchange tickets and went to sit near where Amma was giving Darshan. It was so amazing to watch her take in so many people.... to hold them close while she whispered in their ears. We waited for quite awhile and then they put up our number. We went and stood in line, bought a small bouquet of flowers for offering and waited. I had been looking over the information booklet about Amma and found out that she was less than 2 months older than our mom was. How ironic that Cory, and now I, feel so strongly about this woman... the Universal Mother.... who was so very close to the age of our own mother.

Alea went up first and gave her the flowers, received a small hug, as did Jarrett, and then she took me in... and held all 3 of us at once. She whispered "My Daughter" over and over again and then it sounded like she switched to saying "Mom" over and over again. It was amazing.. and of course I cried... because come on.... My Daughter.... man.... My legs felt really weak and they helped me up and out of the way of the other people... we went and sat back down out of the way... wow...

While in the food court, Goldie Hawn walked by. Yeah... without a huge entourage or anything, sat down and ate with her friends... very casual and that felt nice.

So... that's about all the intelligent communication I can muster tonight... love ya
