- kitten, tears flowing, takes nick's hand in one of hers and didi's in
- the other and calls out for a joining of hands and hearts...
-
- "my family joins hands in prayer when we gather for family
- celebrations.... standard prayer, standard god....my mother is
- christian in the best sense of the word.
-
- i am with nick...i no longer believe in "god" the almighty heavenly
- father ... but i believe in us...and in love...and that we all have
- our own special place as a thread in the tapestry of Life.
-
- today is solstice...let us join together and call the energy of the
- universe to heal...
-
- ..to heal didi with the golden gryphon's magic spell...to heal all of
- us and make us ready for a new year.
-
- i love you all.
-
- blessed be."
