Hi, Sister Tina!

Good to hear from you this morning!
When I go to the Whole Being Weekend
I get Supercharged!

Yes, I am probably exhausted but
I wrote till late last night
and I was up early this morning
writing.

That is what happens
when I get in Conference Mode.

I love being out where I can serve
and be witnessed in a Big Way.

I would be overjoyed to see you at the
Whole Being Weekend in '07, Tina.

I would love for you to have a really great year!

I will comment more soon on the recent
entries between you and Mary!

I love to express God through many paths.
I am delighted that you have daughters
who are finding God in many ways.
It is a Tribute to your lineage and genes.

In the Jewish Tradition, they have a word
called "Kvetching!" Complaining.
Kvetching is part of being in this Tradition!!!

Good Souls are always Kvetching to God,
and telling God where to get off!!!

Ultimately,I get out of feeling like a Victim
of my Circumstances.

Take my Relationship with Best Friend,
for example.

She triggers me so much!!!!

She really gets under my skin!!!!

I love her so much, and when I am in my Right Mind,
I know she is the way that God is sending Blessing
to me to Grow, Grow, Grow!!!!

The feelings we have All of them--
are our growth material.

Your Dad--I used to call myself the
Son of Harpo--at times.
We share many similar characteristics.
We are both very Wild and Untamed
in some part of us.
We love to laugh and have good time.

He was very good for me.
He always helped me overcome my
tendency to have fears.

We are a good combination.

He was also always getting into Trouble!
It did not matter where he was.
Our neighbors on Ventura Place
helped get Harpo kicked out of there.

There were all kinds of bars on the street.
There was a gay for guys, a lesbian bar,
a sports bar, a hooker bar more than likely.

On the corner was Hamels, the bike shop.
They have since become millionaires and retired.
The Hamel Brothers would work out with Harpo
at the nearby gym.

One of the Hamels, and others, were extremely upset
when your dad went vegetarian at the restaurant
and stopped making the Harpoburger.

Originally, there was a big sign that said Harpoburger.
Then, when I came on the scene, the sign was repainted
very Rainbow and New Age.

Later, after I started to go Christian, Harpo was
moved by this. I have written about carrying my Bible around,
like someone who walks a pet Dog.

They say, Dog is God spelled backyards

I know your Dad always had a repressed Religious
streak. He felt ashamed and bad when he was in his
sex phase. He thought this was being him to Sin.

During his He Man Phase, he believed the the Cure All
for whatever ails a Woman was sex. He had a lot of prowess
in that area, or so the story went.

Then, when he entered the Jesus phase, his sex urges
were a constant annoyance to him.

He had aspects of Mental Abborations all the time I knew
him. IT was part of the Specialness of knowing Harpo.

He could really yell!!

When we were in your heyday at the restaurant,
he would be preparing food in the kitchen.
He had his own Rules that no one knew
or that could easily be Broken.

IF you Crossed the Rules, he might start yelling
or just walk out in the middle of preparing a Meal!!!!

One rule was the way we washed the dishes...
He could get off if you brought dishes into the food
prep area.

IT was rather funny.

I love your Harpo stories!!!!!

I understand your Pain.

I lost him too when he turned to Jesus--

I have often said, if I have an Academy Award in me,
it would be for a scr1pt I would write about Harpo,
and his Health House by the Sea.

A theme of the book would be the way Religion,
when practiced by fundamentalists,
destroys families.

Harpo was definitely a Madman,
a crazy, nut, beloved by many.
We will always have a place in our heart for him,
no matter how nuts he was!

He is still Alive--

The World is too Tame,
and Harpo, in spite of all his Quirks,
was very beloved by God.

It is for us--you and I--to make a better world--
an Enchanted Garden world.

Harpo is Rooting for you, Tina!

At this Special time when all Jewish Folks
ask for Forgiveness, Harpo is saying he is sorry
for hurting you.

I know he loves you, your mom and all your kids.
He is with you and visits more than you know.

He is right here right now with me!!!

He always wanted me to write that Book!

Maybe Mary will get it out, or you can help
write it.

You choose this man as your Dad!!!

Try that on, as an idea.,sweet loving TIna.

Imagine your Soul chose Harpo to be your dad...
So why would you have done that????

You are a Very Special Soul, Tina, and woman.
I love you very, very much.

I want to see you at the Whole Being Weekend next
year.

Happy New Year!
I aspire to Love God is as many ways as he loves all his
children, and I am so happy that Harpo, your dad,
was one of my spiritual dad's too!

Your Friend,
Leslie
