Ralph,
Thank you for this personal and moving note. 'Breaking of the heart',
recovering from it, and realiztaion of a larger whole is, I think, the
typical process of spiritual growth. My heart broke twice in the last ten
years. First in 1995 when I took early retirement from IBM, and then in
2000 when I left the country of my birth to move to Canada.

In case you choose to move from U.S.A., Canada is physically so much
closer to you than it was for me - in moving from Pakistan.

Good luck with your journey - both the physical and psychospiritual
Take care
Masud
