I think that's quite astute. I'm really grateful i got to go back. This week, when someone gave me an almost full bag of expensive cookies... i thought of Myrna. Now otherwise, they probably would have gone to waste. So i can sort of see how, if you are clear on what you want (food, to help someone, etc), resources get allocated for it. It was good.

You're level of sensitivity for humans and animals is so necessary in this callous of times. That you ACTED on your suffering (or sense of suffering) is so extraordinary. That you found Myrna isn't. A true spin of the Karmic Wheel. Good work. I believe the reason she resonated so deeply was her specificity about her needs....Can you TAKE ME in THERE and buy me some CHICKEN..(That's much different than.."hey, got some money...") You were at once: 1-Made caretaker of her 2-Given specific direction about where to take her (as caretaker) 3-Given specific direction about her immediate needs (food) What a wonderful story, Tristan.

Thank you for writing. I totally agree about there being a reason I met Myrna. I went to see her again yesterday. She seemed good. She confirmed that she has an apartment, people buy her food, she goes to the hospital for care regularly. It was a relief. I brought her a bag of first rate cookies! I hope she enjoys them. Thanks for posting, it's good to have you here. Hi Chris. Thank you for writing. I totally agree about there being a reason I met Myrna. I went to see her again yesterday. She seemed good.

I hope this finds you well. I just wanted to note that the Myrna story was very touching and real. I've been in the situation, as have most humans, and wondered "was that enough? could I have done more? or, SHOULD I have?" - I'm an advocate of serendipity. So I believe there was a certain purpose for this meeting, and re-meeting. Cheers, Chris Hey, Tristan.
