*10-12-1989, Auroville:
I hadn’t finished the laundry yet when G.G and Suhasini came by, in a surprise
visit. They stayed till after 7 pm; and then I made dinner for Su, who is back from
Madras; she had piles of things to tell me, and I couldn’t take it all in a rush; she
was like a child who has hoarded her treasures for the moment she could show
them all…
*11-12-1989, Auroville:
Catherine came back to work today, still very tense and fragile…
*14-12-1989, Auroville:
I visited with Myrtle this evening after work and had dinner with her and Durgaura,
and later Giri joined us. I’ll go to her birthday this Sunday, I think – as she is still
planning to go away next year…
*15-12-1989, Auroville:
I find there is in “me” the predominance of a need, which is also a will, to unite with
the energy of manifestation as regards Matrimandir; it is, in itself, a clear and
steady and determined flow, and that makes me grateful… Sometimes I am
tangibly aware of You within – the centre of “me”: there You are, permanently, and
very concretely, as in Your room…
*18-12-1989, Auroville:
For the first time we had a Planning session where both Piero and Roger A
participated…! It was short, but it happened…!
*23-12-1989, Auroville:
Ceausescu has at last been ousted: the last stronghold of this ugly, ugly one…!
… We are preparing for the concreting of the North Pillar extension, the Pillar of
Mahakali, next Tuesday…
*24-12-1989, Auroville:
I cried again when I finished reading “I Heard the Owl Call my Name”, as I cried
yesterday when I heard more about how the Romanian people took a stand and
threw off the dictator…
*25-12-1989, Auroville:
I have a bit of stage-fright before the concreting tomorrow. It hasn’t been easy to
reach a good quality in the work, and the pouring and vibrating of the concrete will
demand great care and vigilance; but it feels like we have done our best, especially
Ramalingam, who has been wonderful.
This morning I had a tough moment: Andy came to “chat”, and he was most
unpleasant and unhelpful, and I would have lost all confidence, but I clung to the
thread I hold from You: it is Yours! I see very well my own imperfections, but I am
not covering them, they are there before You…
