These days, the talk of battle is everywhere.  Political, military, religious and social campaigns seek to define us.

Yet for each of us, this primary battle remains: Will my heart win?
Within me, will I surrender fear, judgment and doubt and allow my heart to rule? Will I accept the simplicity and the love that surely resides within me? Will I walk in Beauty?

As we begin our third year at Echo Valley, we gratefully acknowledge the support of many, and with respect and gratitude we thank the elders who, with great patience and love, teach us.

As we go forth, there is one more acknowledgment, one large 'Thank You' to the person who has been and remains a champion of the heart. To someone, who for the past thirty years, has reminded me of the sweetness of life, has encouraged my discovery, and has helped me choose clarity and freedom, over confusion and doubt. May his message continue to ring out, inviting all to the discovery of the heart, to the peace within.

Thank you, Maharaji.

Wishing you well,
Dena
