The Unexpected

Since Godwriting™  and Heavenletters™ my life has been one unexpected thing after another. It is all miracle to me.

Have I mentioned that I am working on the script for a musical, lyrics and all?

Who on Earth could have predicted this?!!! No one, not by a long shot.

Which one of us knows all the twists and turns that life holds for us?

I have some nerve writing a play, let alone a musical!!!

How it happened is that I sent Heaven Admin a little paper back book from India called Heart of a Gopi.  The book is inspired writing, not quite Godwriting, yet the author,  Raihana Tyabji, did not know ahead of time what he was going to write. It was more like the book wrote itself.

Heaven Admin loved the story, too, and casually asked me if I would make a play of it. It would be hard to say no to Heaven Admin, so I said, "Yes." I said, "Yes," not knowing how I could ever find the time to do it and quite unsure of my ability to do it.

Once I started writing it, however, I was in Heaven and didn't want to stop. I was at home writing it.  In about two weeks, I had it done. I say "done," but it was really just begun, for it has been reworked probably twenty times since. It keeps getting better and better, mostly because of input from others like Heaven Admin and the lovely lady in the Boston area who has been composing the music and a few others.

I forgot to say -- when I started writing, I had no idea the play would be a musical, but very soon it was as if the play itself told me it wanted to be a musical. There was no doubt of it.

The play takes place in 3,000 B.C. in India. Gopis are milkmaids. Gopis were known for their love of Krishna, a personification of God.  Gopis symbolize pure devotion.

We who love God with all our hearts must be today's Gopis.
