Yeah, I write as if I'm broken
hearted but I'm actually just constantly blown away by the audacity and sheer
callousness of the Maharishi at this point. It's like he's his own archnemesis.
I just don't get it. I yell, but I'm absolutely positive that it's too late.
Maharishi the diabetic is going to eat ice cream all week even if it kills
him.

Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: I taught my
daughter to meditate- a short story
I thoroughly enjoyed your story. The fact that
lurkermore apparently has a less-than-fulfilling relationship with his kids
isn't your problem. I have kids as well and really enjoy hearing
other parents tell their stories - pass- ing your wisdom to your kids is a
way of gaining quasi-immortality.
And wives with kids can be just as
exploratory and interested in a wide range of things as anyone else.
I know from direct experience.
Thanks again for your story - it touched
quite a few things in me, although I think I got over being broken-hearted
a while ago. TM has always been wonderful, from my point of
view. The TMO and MMY ran off the tracks some time back - just the
way these things go...
