Early in July, Ramesha got to try on, then take home, his finished Lightbearer robe.
Today was finally my turn (getting robes custom-made is not a quick and easy kind of project!).
What I find interesting is that I feel somewhat distanced and a little detached from the whole idea right now — probably because the start-to-finish process of getting my robe took almost eight months (much of it spent just locating a good local seamstress!).
Of course, I have a hunch I’ll be experiencing a completely different range of feelings come Sunday morning when I get “robed up” for the first time to give service at Ananda Los Angeles. 🙏
It’s so daunting. The whole experience isn’t it.l? The years of watching other leaders, then when you realize God is asking you to do the same, is so humbling. It is every time I wear it. God is really serving each other. Who’s really blessing whom? I get caught in the gift of it all.
