RESPONSE: Then you leave me with no alternative, turquoise: I must continue to 
suck up to Rick, Curtis, and Judy.

Had you attempted to really help me in my predicament I could have conceived of 
apologizing to Adyashanti (and Rick)—by writing a retraction—and then it would 
have been a win-win situation. As it is, I am just going to pretend (yeah, I've 
kind of reversed course here—you have no one to blame but yourself, turquoise) 
that my original letter to Rick about Adyashanti is more telling and true than 
your negative reaction to it. My letter, then, about Adyashanti, goes deeper 
than your snub of me.

Hey, I already feel so much better. My gratitude to you, Lord, who I know is 
arranging all this in your perfect providence.

Let me tell you this, turquoise: I love you.
