Thank you Rama
Thank you Rama,
For bringing me into your world of love, adventure and magic,
And patiently showing me that it is more real and more fun than the world in which I was living.
Thank you Rama,
For leading a perfect life.
For being real.
For being simple.
For speaking the truth.
For going the extra 10,000 miles.
For doing whatever the hell you saw was right.
For dedicating your life to your students,
And being for them the wish fulfilling jewel that most can only read about.
For being absolute proof positive that miracles are possible,
And the greatest miracle of all is the light of Enlightenment.
And now that you are gone from this world,
You have left me with no choice but to create my own world of love, adventure and magic,
And patiently show those who will listen that it is the real thing and a heck of a lot of fun.
-- Paul D.
