Asha Deep in My Heart Someday

Asha and Suri are setting up their studio apartment together. They interview at the Mural Arts Project for work and service to the community. The next morning, they go for a walk in the rain.

"Maybe the earth beneath such gentle feet would, at every step, be filled with an intense change and vibration. And the earth would become all water. That's how you felt. You felt as soft and rooted as flowers upon water." - from Chapter 11

Asha holds on to her spiritual beliefs in the mess and beauty of everyday life. She wants a balance between inner retreat and serving a just cause. She wants to deepen her beliefs, and change and grow and love. Suri shows Asha that "being open to love is a way of giving love."
