My dearest Tara,

So now look what's gone and happened. On my way home last Friday I 
thought I would  pick up a copy of Monty Python's, "The Meaning of 
Life." When Mike got home we put it on. Then he turned to me and 
innocently announced that he had never before seen a Monty Python 
movie!!!! I have actually married a man who had not ever once seen a 
Monty Python show or movie, nor heard a joke from the above named icons 
of my early adulthood!! It just goes to show you that some things in a 
marriage aught to remain private and unspoken, despite what the self 
help communication gurus might have to say about it.

Well, anyway, I may have created a monster because he now wanders 
around reciting some of the choisest lines in a faux British accent, 
heavily laden with Brooklyeese. Life of Brian is on this weekend's show 
list.

How wonderful that Swami Govinda is there with you. If you get this in 
time please give him all my best. it sounds as if you have wall-to-wall 
Swami attention: chanting, pujas, prayers. If there is a better place 
for you to be on the planet, I can not imagine it. I remain with you in 
spirit and you are constantly in my and Mike's thoughts. I was driving 
home from work yesterday when I was struck with a true sense of what 
you must be going through, no defenses, no immediate impulse to turn 
away. I can't pretend to know exactly what this feels like for you, but 
I had this one inkling and consequently this desire to send you 
enormous amounts of love and any healing or comforting energy I could 
munster up. I hope that you are  not in too much pain.

I have been in touch with Claire and know that she is leaving for India 
with her husband on Sunday. I feel better knowing that a TTC Netala '04 
Ambassador will soon be at your side.

Do you need anything? I know it takes a while but we are ready to ship 
anything. Mike is also available if you need any medical advice, 
although I realize you probably have a lot of that. Let us know

Much Love, Ganga
