Hugging Amma Ji is Hugging Divinity.
It is both, and at once, the experience of hugging the wind
and hugging a solid, mature, smooth manzanita tree, together.
She is small, slight even, yet massive and powerful.
She is transparent, unseen, mightily felt and enveloping.
While sitting in a field of roses and sandalwood, her Divine
fragrance announces her purity.
All senses fully, profoundly experience her embrace.
Her feel, touch, warmth, softness, power, ambrosial smell,
color and body envelop and absorb you into her.
My head in her bosom, her right hand at my back, her left
hand clasping my head tight, my right ear to her lips….
she repeats softly, gently, magically: My daughter,
my daughter, my daughter, my daughter; over and over
and over. I don’t want this to end, but it does with her
firm letting go of the moment, and without thinking I am
helped to my feet by her attendants, and she or they,
who cares, press an Amma blessed flower petal and a
Hershey’s kiss into my hand, and I stumble away from
Bliss.
I immediately placed the flower petal in my mouth and
added taste to this embrace. I wanted to take her love
directly into my body.
I sat down, flooded with tears, my soul melting.
My tounge tasted my salt tears together with her
sweet perfume on my lips.
Such fulfilling love is a miracle to feel. I am blessed.
