Ten minutes into the visit, a staff member came up to us and said that she had never seen so many smiles on the faces of the patients. They were overwhelmed by the love and sincerity of our practitioners-especially the children. Because many of the residents spend most of their time in their rooms, permission was granted to go door to door and personally deliver the message of love. Their curiosity about Master was satisfied when all their questions were answered. A sample booklet and News magazine are now part of the facility's permanent library.

One of the residents was especially moved by Master's love, and began hugging fellow initiates as they were leaving the nursing home. The woman asked for her own copy of Master's sample booklet, and upon receiving it, pressed it to her heart and knew that she had found something very special. Ten days after the visit, a report came to us from the nursing home, stating that the residents were still excited about the Sunday afternoon that had brought sunshine into their lives. The orchids continued to bloom and many of the bears had been tied to walkers and wheelchairs, creating what they called a "Bear Brigade" down the halls of the nursing home. The activities director was thrilled to have had a visit of this nature during a time when no other holidays were near, and the gifts were especially appreciated.

Through this event, not only was Master's love spread to the elderly, but Florida initiates experienced what it was like to give with no attachment to results of any kind. Only unconditional love was present. When we touch one heart, we really do touch the world!
