Letters to the Universe

Letters to friends, Gurus, Saints and Teachers. A journey of the soul of a seeker


A Note to Ramesh Balsakar: The Symbolism of Birds on my Spiritual Path

May 20, 2004

Dear Mr. Balsekar,

I am so amazed at the little reminders that Nature throws in my path. 

Birds have become my talisman. 

When I am driving, birds swoop down across my path. 

Slowly, I noticed their appearance was related to the Divine.

Always gently reminding me to fall back on the Self. 

They are here to remind me of my True Nature.  This simple reminder is ‘gentleness in motion’.

What a joy. 



Letters to the Universe
A journey of the soul of a seeker.

Since 1984, I have been writing letters to friends, Gurus, Saints, and Teachers, seeking wisdom, guidance, and connection. Over time, I realized that I was truly writing to the Universe.

At first, I posted many of these letters, and some were answered. As my journey deepened, I came to understand that sending them mattered less than listening for what arose within me.

Eventually, I stopped sending them to anyone in particular. These pages are a record of years of questions, musings, and the quiet wisdom that has accompanied my spiritual exploration.
