Dear family,

I now dwell in Athens, Greece. I am sorry that I did not write sooner but I was on an island where the post office was about a 15 mile walk from where I was. There were no cars or buses to take me. I have been doing much reading and studying of eastern philosophy and religion. It is so beautiful and so peaceful where I am, that I am able to do much thinking. Without a doubt I am learning more about the world and about myself, than ever was able to before. Traveling through these countries is the most worthwhile thing that I have done in my life (and I know this). I send my love to all of you, I would like to end my letter with this thought. Regardless of how many miles apart we are, we are still together. For the closeness between us is in our hearts.

Love,

Richard (Radhanath Swami)
