What a very special delight to read it today. It is people like you, Maithri, and Mr. Ron who inspire and teach us and lead us to the realisation that there are people in this world who, although they never ask for help, deserve everything we are able to give to help them reach for the stars. Thank you, always and in all ways.Tessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05233122532137654099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93070148403148700.post-86621266261286790132009-08-01T09:30:53.917+10:002009-08-01T09:30:53.917+10:00Dear Maithri,<br /><br />You have send shivers through the spider&#39;s web with this beautiful blog.

His words remind me of those of another wise man named Chief Seattle. Do you know of him? I have these words of his framed and sitting where I can see them: <i>“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”</i><br /><br />How wonderful that you were able to find and visit this young man. What a lovely thing for you to do.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158546369146047030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93070148403148700.post-15232343365919987112009-07-30T14:40:03.027+10:002009-07-30T14:40:03.027+10:00What a beautiful story Maithri.<br /><br />I agree with you 100%.

I&#39;m giving a talk to school kids about being called to do missionary work. What a beautiful example to share with them. Now if I can just find a big old hair spider and convince it to make a web in a few hours time, I&#39;ll be a hit for sure.<br /><br />Bless you, Maithri. And Ron, and Zweli and grandmothers everywhere.<br /><br />P.S. Great glory be to the master web maker in the sky who touches those who touch others.Merry MEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00462036349233154101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93070148403148700.post-21015173975859050612009-07-29T16:37:39.479+10:002009-07-29T16:37:39.479+10:00I was touched by the generosity and friendship of a gentleman like Mister Ron, when I was 13, and ever since I have tried to be like him. Every deed surely does have an influence, I am convinced of that. I have heard of an old lady of ninety who had kept all my letters, and when she was old and weak let her daughters read them to her over and over. How little time does it take to write a letter?Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93070148403148700.post-31540819916825747282009-07-29T16:20:19.743+10:002009-07-29T16:20:19.743+10:00ah jeez, M<br />what a chorus of adoring fans you have<br /><br />you must be doing something right.....kyliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93070148403148700.post-19308876192016116802009-07-29T14:21:07.911+10:002009-07-29T14:21:07.911+10:00&quot;Humanity is a spiders web.
