Yes, that's Santhan

There is a spectacular children's librarian at the Fairfield City Library. She is like a weaver. She connects books to hearts. She is magic with the children, and she often helps people like me who may be wandering around, looking for a good book. This librarian's name is Patti. We have become friends.

She gave me the surprise of my life Sunday! She was at my apartment. My Zen apartment! I had just started to tell her about Santhan (Heaven Admin) how he does everything for Heavenletters, the web site, this blog. Not only does he do, but he takes responsibility for everything.

Hardly had the word Santhan gotten out of my mouth when Patti said brightly: "Santhan Naidoo?"

Think a second and get the picture. I mean, what are the odds?

I choked and said: "How do you know Santhan?"

What it was...well, when Santhan was here in Fairfield, he had his own library card and went to the library often, and he and Patti would talk about the world and all the things that matter.

As I was recovering from the unexpectedness of it all, Patti went on and said such things about Santhan like: "He's brilliant! Delightful! Marvelous."

Then I was able to say unequivocably, "Yes, that's Santhan."
