[Thespiritexpress] Poem read at Mastery

[Spirit House]

Hi Riantee ~~~~~~~~  My first thought is “YES” this is a PERFECT “ONE” as this is all non-dual material with are working with and your poetry complete support that deep inner knowing~!!! Then it occurred to me that - “wow, wait a minuto here Señor - isn’t there something to be said about the "Perfect 10”…" - So, from me it’s a Perfect One and a Perfect 10 ~~ however the scale is calibrated from either perspective~!!  

w/Love for the art of Poetry ~~~~Ron
