  • It is so lovely, Tejvan, what you posted. Things have changed radically for me but
    what has not changed is your devotion to the divine and to the truth and for this I am
    grateful.

  • Hi Tejvan,

    I still have no website but I just wrote this poem for you.

    floating through air,
    apart from the wing,
    lifting despair.
