Gainesville, Florida, USA - 1985
Our good friend, Walter Busby, played matchmaker and got us together. Our first date was on January 21, 1979. Gordon visited me at my not-quite-finished new house. It was in the little town of Hague, Florida, outside of Gainesville, near the Temple of the Universe that I attended at that time. I was into yoga and chanting and meditation and not really looking for a partner at the time. I finally felt whole and complete and at peace with myself and God. I was not expecting my soulmate to walk through the door.
That first night I noticed that my normally aloof cat, Krishna, sat on Gordon's lap and purred the whole time Gordon was there. When I walked Gordon to the door a few hours later, I heard a loud male voice in my head say, "Some day you're going to marry this man." I thought that was strange, but filed it away in the corner of my mind.
We were married on May 1, 1982.
