Fw: [19 Isaiah] Re: The sacred sacrificial altar

--Blue Dani,

My reply has problably nothing to do with your mail because its still
too complicated to understand for me.
Never mind i just like to share something from my own experience.
I had always a picture in mind about the future of my son, a
succesful musicion, open minded and a Happy person.
a nothing to worry type so i could relax and feel happy.
It worked out different, no school little work and lots of alcohol.
And still he is my teacher and one of the most open minded persons i
have ever met in my life.
He is never afraid to say the truth, in whatever situation, sanctions
or not.
He can take responsibility for his own life and tells me that he
don't take the responsibilty for my happinness in that way.
you see?
it is all about letting go, trust, and sacrifice i guess.if you know
what i mean.
Anyway
Thanks for sharing Dani,

singing a song for you
Saman
