My whole life, I have felt the pull of something bigger than myself.
Something wild and deep, just beneath my breath. Just beyond the places where the light does not fall.
A gravity. A magnetism.
A rainbow thread of love connecting me to a world of wounded beautiful human beings.
This morning as I wake, all I see are painted 'thank you's.
Adorning every unfinished surface of my life.
I believe in Love. I believe in Angels.
In spite of it all,
Because of it all...
Maithri.

if we cant believe in love we have nothing left

Every single time I come here, I am moved to tears.
Moved by your beautiful voice that always speaks (and sings) for justice and compassion.
Your love is a song Dr. Maithri. I am just so lucky to have heard it.
Love,
Sara xoxo
Beautiful!!! More singing please!!!!
Beautiful as always, my dear Maithri. You are a light of hope in this world, a world that suffers from so much darkness and pain. And you are certainly a light in my life as you are for so many.
Much love to you, as always.
Sylvia

I still believe in Love too, Maithri. And Angels and the goodness of people.
I always love to hear you sing. Makes my heart smile.

Wonderful Maithri!May many more lives beem in your angelic light, Keep up!
When I meet young men like you who believe in something bigger than themselves, I am heartened. I regain my hope that we have what it takes to save this world and all the people in it.
Thank you, Maithri, for sharing your hope, belief, and faith with me...with the world.
May you be as blessed as you are a blessing.
Maithri,
thank you for sharing and inspiring, you always do, to so many.
I loved the poem you wrote, with you it seems there are no "ordinary" days.
all blessings to you dear one,
lori
The way that you caress the English language moves me. What a wonderful gift you have. I'm seeing that it's only one of many.
Hi Maithri,
Your words "in spite of it all, because of it all" will resonate with all of us for whom Africa is not just the stuff of 'fairy tales'
You tell the truth in all its painful beautiful reality.
As I've said before I feel your voice is truly a gift from heaven.
Peace to you brother,
Longelu

Dear Anonymous,

"While love is lord of heaven and earth... how can i keep from singing."
Its like breathing for me... i cant separate myself from the music...

Much love, M

Dear New beginning,
A humble thank you for your warm words my friend,
May your eyes always be soft, your head always held high
May you be nourished with strength to endure the broken moments and a song of love to weave them into wings...
My love to you,
Maithri
Dear Wanda,
Thank you for your presence here my friend.
Yes I am a believer...
In my short 29 years I have seen things which would make many stop believing....Deeply soul ravaged places which my little words still find difficult to describe...
And yet i know that love is real. It is what keeps us going when there is nothing left...
It is what binds us, one to another, heart to heart,
In spectral light,
Much love and gratitude to you,
M
My dear Lori,
Its always a blessing to have you here...
I hope someday we'll meet! Theres so much to say...
But for now... Let me just say:
With YOU there are no ordinary days...no ordinary moments... Only deep, untamed, unencumbered life...
Love and light my friend,
M
Dear Amy,
You honour and humble me my friend.
I've gotta tell you i have my moments...where it feels like i'm doing anything but caressing the language ;) lol!! ;)
THank you for your presence here my friend,
May the warm arms of peace enfold you and your precious family,
M
Dear Brother Longelu,
Yes Brother.... we know its not just the stuff of fairy tales....The visceral pain, the amplitude of suffering...The lens through which we see the world is forever altered by the reality and depth of human suffering...
And yet I remain hopeful... i remain starry eyed... because for me there is no choice...
Oscar Wilde once said "Two men look out of the same jail bars. One sees mud. The other sees stars".
I see the stars... shining above every little child shivering in a hut... every man lying in his own wastes, named 'untouchable' because of his disease...
I see the light surrounding the grandmother working 14 hour days to feed her 20 orphaned grandchildren...
THey are my light, my heroes... I am forever connected to them... We are forever connected to each other... In rainbows of light and love and passion,
My love to you dear brother, M
Dear Sister Nosipho,
Its a song i used to sing as a child... I think 'kermit the frog' used to sing it...
Its profound simplicity has always spoken directly to my heart,
THank you for your kindness,
Much love, M
Who can doubt the existance of angels when you are around? Beautiful voice.
Dear Sister Yoli,
So wonderful to see you as always... Thank you for the dignity and warm love I always feel in your presence,
Sending you the light,
Maithri
I find myself resisting coming here now- or at least chosing my moment because I know there will be something here to challenge me or move me to tears. You have done it again- moved me to tears. I closed my eyes during your singing and felt a peace.
Maithri you can tell that I am officially losing my marbles as when I saw that you had commented on my blog I started crying.
I don't know if you know how incredible I think that you are.
You are everything we should all try to be.
Your singing was amazing and please thank your pianist for me.
Love Renee xoxo
Maithri - you have a heart as big as a mountain. And a voice to go with it! :) Keep singing, and may the angels help you in all that you do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
:)Pam
I came here from my friend Robb Kloss' blog. I love your site. It is heartfelt and very very real. I've added you to my RSS feed. Your photos are also very stunning and filled with hope and vitality. Love the one of the smiling child. It brought tears to my eyes it is so pure. Thank you for sharing greatness. Robin
Dear Cinammon,
Thank you my friend for being here.
Over the last few years many people have told me that they find some of what i talk about here confronting...challenging... and i hope thats a good thing ;)
That we can learn from one another and grow as a community of caring.
Your kindness humbles me,
Much love to you, Maithri
Beautiful Renee,
Your heart is one of the treasures of the universe.
Thank you for the love you give each one you meet,
You are my hero,
Much love, Maithri
Dear Pam,
I deeply appreciate your kindness my friend,
Thank you for believing, for daring to love in a world that so often closes its heart to those in pain,
Love from my heart to yours,
M
Dear Robin,
What a pleasure to welcome you here to this humble place. Robb and his family are amazing people arent they!
I love reality ;). Lifes just too short for falsity and the donning of personas...
Why not be who we are, in all our wounded beauty...
It moves me that your heart was touched by the faces of the children... I truly believe they are our angels... thats why i keep them constellating around this place... to bless it with their pure light,
Love and peace to you, Maithri
i believe in you xx
You had me at the bubble blowing! So lovely, my friend.
This is one of my most favorite songs ever.
And you blow bubbles.
And. I know just what you mean: My whole life, I have felt the pull of something bigger than myself.
I think we were meant to be friends, dear Maithri.
Dude . . . that was awesome . . . :)
You are so many shades and depths of beautiful, Maithri...
