My sweet Cathy,

I have read everything you wrote in your entries, both public and private. It is as though I am getting to know a side of you I never knew existed. I am riveted by every word, it's like I'm drawn into your thoughts and I am thirsting for more. I can't wait to open my computer at night and bask in the jewels of your personal insight. I would like to reiterate just how wonderful you write.

You know, this feels pretty good, it's like having this great conversation reserved for just you and me. I doubt anyone else is reading this but you.

So, on to some thoughts I have for the day...

I was thinking of what you said about trusting God to take care of that in which we have no control over. This is a good one for me and you're spot on about this meaning not doing anything and leaving it up to chance. God gives us the gift of life, we determine what to do with it. It's like a cooperative venture, we share the responsibility of both difficulties and delights. God provides the arena, we choose the game. God gives us our face, we choose the expression.

I also love what you said about "the key is to surrender to the unknown." I am a firm believer of practicing passionate detachment. The value lies within the process, not in the specific outcome. Be passionate about what you do, but like you say, open your mind to new possibilites.

...Now I'm talking to you in person!! How lucky I am.

I'll sign off for now, I love you dearly...Marc
