Findhorn, My gift & Letter

Around three decades ago I heard about Findhorn…while I was visiting Philadelphia I picked up a book on Findhorn-I think the first book on Findhorn..It was a paperback….I was amazed. I was astonished. I was enthralled and I fell in love. This was the Western version of Shambala/Shangrila on earth. I read the book and re-read the book and I wanted so much to live in a community that communed with Nature. That lived on principles of spirituality, love, respect of environment and eachother. I really was amazed such a place existed.

Findhorn propitiated the natural elemental beings to bless their gardens, flowers, environments and properties and as a result they had roses that bloomed in the snow, 40 pound cabbages, and vegetables that grew in the sand…many have visited and were amazed.

I have been in love with Findhorn ever since. I do not want to add to Findhorn as it is more than fine the way it is, but I wanted to send them a gift to say how much I admire their way of life, their respect for eachother and the earth. I wanted to send a gift to celebrate how they are such a wonderful example of how we are suppose to live with our earth. I really wanted to say thank you to them for being who they are and having the courage to live correctly. I’ve been wanting to send a gift a while ago, but didn’t have a chance…I hope to create something like this in the future.

I am so happy that people at Findhorn were happy with my gift and prayers for their further success…I thank everyone at Findhorn…beautiful. I will send some more items for all of them to share soon. It’s just my way of saying-keep doing what you are doing!!

Well it was nice to know my gift has arrived in Findhorn…a magical place I admired since I was a small child…May all who join Findhorn have peace, growth and true spiritual awakening…I send you all my sincerest good wishes.
