Amma visited LA

Amma was in LA last week. Of course, I swung by to hang out. Once again, she had many lessons for me. This is what it looked like setting up. You can see them setting up her shops in the back, that help her various charitable efforts, the sound men setting up their equipment, and I helped set up the stage. Which I felt was a tremendous honor for me: to make the stage beautiful for Amma.

Heart Mission

I was treated like gold,
platinum even,
and then abandoned for
a bottle with a ship
in it.
I touched a tear
that fell for my beauty.
Someone tried to
argue the sunshine
out of me,
then kissed me
on the cheek for it.
This assignment
I was handed
was tender, sweet,
and saddening.
The ship in that
bottle doesn't sail
very far.
If I could make this
all make sense
I would, but it doesn't
make sense
to me.
