Judy, best to just let your perceptions and fantasies go unimpeded. (as though there's a choice in the matter). But you must realize, that for you, things are always going wrong in the minds of people who disagree with you. I mean that is your calling card, and that's not going to change. But I'm glad there was some spark between the two of you, even if it was at a distance.

I'm sure there are lots of people who know things about Robin that I don't. But you aren't one of them. << sounds like this one hurt Judy. kinda has your ire up for some reason. and yikes, I guess I pushed the mother of all buttons, claiming I knew something about Robin you didn't. >> My memory is excellent, and I followed Robin's posts more closely than anyone here. The two of us were good friends and had extensive email correspondence. You repeatedly get things wrong that have happened in the past. I never saw him say anything like what you imagine. You made the claim, you find the post. Judy, I don't know what the point of arguing about it is. If he said it, it will be there in the record. Without being too boastful, my memory is pretty good. My impression is that he had nothing to do with e-mails, and seemed to predate his participation here. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: You've got something screwy here, Stevie. He may have been talking about email, in which case he probably meant with me. But there was no "daily confessional." My recollection is that he did, indeed say that he has a friend he meets with most everyday, at Starbucks, (I believe), in whom he confides thoughts, feelings. I would say this was a couple months before he stopped posting. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: emptybill doesn't know what he's talking about with regard to Robin, his reams of quotes notwithstanding. "Daily confessional with his friend at Starbuck's"?? Robin never said anything remotely like that. Both Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theologies have clearly explicated the nature of union with God – at least as far as that is possible for humans. However, he never appeared interested in learning more - whether about Catholic/Orthodox Christianity, Yogic Vedanta or Shankara’s Advaita Vedanta. I attribute this to a lack of genuine humility although he was constantly espousing a pseudo-humility. Sorta my take on the whole thing. On the other hand, we do have the "missing" years when he was substitute teaching. Could get some checks in the humility column for that. And then we have his daily confessional with his friend at Starbucks. Do I have that right?
