Dear Devi,
As you know, the foundation Bruce and I formed was conceived at Ananda and based on the proactice fo meditation. We try to honor images and initiatives which may come through that process. The image of you, my dear, keeps coming so clearly to me.
I was moved to nominate you for the Sullivan Ballou Award because the sweetest sense of you kept "knock, knocking on my door". This is an expression of gratitude and of joy and love.
Know that I think of you often and always with love and gratitude. Bruce and I know of your enormous and steadfast devotion ot Ananda and the countless efforts you have made on behalf of the community. It is almost as though to me you are "at home" and I am away from "home" and I draw every day on the energy from "home". You are of course essential to all the awards we have done.
Congratulations!
Elissa and Bruce Peterson, Founding Members
