            unconditional love and wisdom
            I have ever experienced. I met
            councils, angels, Jesus, and stood
            before a golden light and hand
            of God. The landscape was green
            rolling hills; special trees; and a     Susanne easily connects with all                                                             Photo by Joan Fry
