I had some dreams after falling back asleep but can't remember too well... I did not practice recalling. I would also add the concern from Amma felt like she cared about me. If it wasn't for Steve I never would have sent my self to Dallas to visit her. These saints seem to bring out dreams or unique experiences the night before and during. I've dreamt of Anandamayi Ma, Two different Amma's and Gurunath. All saints I have met in person. I am fortunate for their care and guidance, even if I'm just passing by.
And to add the sensation of playing guitar in my dreams is so familiar. It's not the first time either. Strumming the strings and then playing individual strings- it was very therapeutic and rewarding.
I’ve just noticed that some people are like a cool breeze on a very hot day. They come to refresh us and comfort us. Sometimes you tune into their joy and you realize that there is something extraordinarily wonderful about life that they have tuned into and have the capacity to transfer that joy to anyone that attempts to tune in. When you recognize that you yourself being full of darkness and you are bringing your troubles to them and they say ‘if you have nothing more to give but your trouble do so I will easily take them on to myself, as though they are a gift and the only gift you have to give for now.’ I did this in a literal sense. I gave Amma a lemon 🍋 and she took it in her hand put it up to her mouth and took a big bite. I recognized she loved taking my sorrows. Bring all your joys and sorrows to such a being and they will transform them into love. All it takes is a willingness to believe that love is always there to awaken and comfort your life.
It becomes quite evident that no ordinary type of consciousness could willingly bite into and through the tough and bitter skin of a lemon and take a bite of it willingly while giving you a darshan hug.
