The power of connections

I just received a call from a friend that gave me some good news.

Here is the background story, so you can comprehend the importance of the news and why connections are important.

I seem to be very connected. Unknowingly so, nevertheless, connected.
I send out info and I stumble upon connections. It happened again tonight!

I have a male relative in prison in the state I live in. He is very far from me, so I have not been able to visit yet. I have since been ordained so I could be of some use for him. He has written me letters about how he wants to better himself and would be interested in any religious books I send. I had told him about the 'Gita and about the Krishna devotees. He wrote back saying he was interested in knowing about this, since he has so much time on his hands! He also told me he could have religious books, but not other books. I then go to my friend that use to be a monk and has many connections within the world of Krishna devotees. I told him about my relative and he told me he would give me some books for him. Free of charge, all I need to is pay for the shipping. I did this. i sent the books. I then received a phone call from another family member about how the prison confiscated the books because they were Hindu and not Christian like his paperwork had on it from when he was brought into the court system. They told him he could pay to send the books back, or have them confiscated and he would not be allowed to have them in his cell nor have to read. I then reported this back to my friends. This was a couple weeks ago. Through the "network" a social worker there at the prison happens to be sister to one of the devotees!! That was the call. My friend called me and asked for his name, they were working on how to get the books back into his hands.

I had no idea the connections, but they were there. I just simply spoke about the facts and let the Universe, Krishna, Goddess, God, Allah, whatever you call it, I let it happen.


I love living :)
