bewilderment, that Bruce was standing just outside my compartment looking at me. A part of me couldn't believe it, but another part of me really wanted to believe it.

We spent the next week or so together talking about Baba. The first three days were in Venice with Bruce and his family. Then he and I went on to Portofino and San Fruttuoso, where Baba had been. By the time that was over, I felt as if I had been bathed in Baba's love and as if something really great and important in my life had begun. It was also at this time that I began to see that my "coincidental" meetings with Bruce were not coincidences at all — that there are no coincidences, there is only Baba silently directing it all.

I am searching for You, oh Meher, but I cannot find your address.

Love's lamp is weeping in my heart, I cannot bear its pain.

You are so close to me, yet remain so far

And from Your distance You watch my constant burning.

How can I walk on a path full of fire?

Only by becoming fire am I able to tread It

Oh Beloved, do not leave me after an embrace.

Bring an end to Your game of hide and seek!

I am grateful to You for giving me this song of fire —

I know that singing it is not in vain.

Oh Bhau, tell me what I should do in this path of fire?

I am treading it day and night as if not treading it at all.
