The creative force of the entire universe is not something elusive, distant or invisible. It is everywhere. It is within you and all around you. It permeates each and every thing, and is always ready to fully connect with you.
Gaze into the eyes of any living being and you are gazing directly into the eyes of the Creator. A fellow human, a domestic or wild animal, an insect or reptile… all are embodiments of the Creator. Look deeply and you will not only see the creator, you will experience this eternal power that some call God, Brahma or Allah, or refer to as OM.
Gaze long enough into the heart of a flower, the breadth of the sky or even a piece of fruit or glass of water and the Creator is revealed. Gaze into the mirror. There, too, you will see the ingenious work of the creator.
All life is sacred. All things are miraculous. Grace surrounds and embraces us at every moment.
I think you know that I have a great love for you. Every class that I have taken with you I have felt the love you share with all of your students, and each time a little of your love reaches by heart. My wife (Lara) and daughter (Amelia) take your classes. I believe you know who they are. We all have the same affection for you. I call Lara my wife, yet her and I are now legally divorced. She is still the love of my life, so I use the word wife out of respect for her. Feel free always to discuss anything you wish about me to her or anyone else for that matter, for my life is an open book viewable to all who wish to look.
Recently, Lara was upset about how much I admire you in particular, and the relationship you and Laura have. I was accused of emulating you. I admitted immediately that I do. But I also admitted that I could only wish to be 75% of the man that you embody.
After a few days, my Lara realized what I man I would be if I could reach that goal. She likes my ambition and the fact that you are, and have been ever since I set foot in your classroom several years ago, my greatest teacher.
Get well soon,

Namaste Randy,
These are very moving, honoring and courageous words you have shared with me and I thank you from the center of my heart.
Please know that I am only a mirror of you, and as you see the best in me as your teacher, I also see the very best in you. I have the fullest faith that you have chosen exactly the journey you were meant for, and that you will continue to unfold and radiate in glorious ways.
If I have been, and continue to be, of service to you, it is my privilege and honor.
Blessings & Peace,
Bhava Ram http://www.deepyoga.com
