Tribute to Mary Helen – Constance

 

Mary Helen and Dhruva were the first Aurovilians I met when I arrived in Pondy in 68.  They drove me out to the land – ferrying me, for the final few kilometers, to this birth's destination.

 

Later, we worked together in the Matrimandir Nursery, where we both lived.  Mary Helen is very much a part of my life – and her passing is experienced even in my body.

 

How do we explain the spiritual intimacy of this family – this wonderful wave of souls that moves together in and out of time?

 

                  Together

                        approaching the earth

                  Together born

                       living together

 

                       together unborn

 

and always in the embrace – the consciousness, the being – of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

 

I am grateful for her beautiful, courageous life.

 

Constance
