Robin Rae Coleman

I was in the Georgia State Penitentiary in the early 90's and I picked up a book Lama Yeshe. It was like I was remembering and found my home. I wrote wisdom publications and asked them if they would send me more books by this Lama Yeshe. I don't know how or why it is still a mystery to me but I got a letter from Robin Coleman. I know now that these Buddhists just know, I don't question anymore I just open my heart and it speaks to me. I am a suffering addict and I have been suffering many lifetimes over. I only breathe because somehow someone took the time to write me and teach me the joy of suffering. I spent many years in and out of different institutions on this journey of suffering learning how to grow. I never met Robin nor did we ever speak to one another but she was always there when I would find my way to lucidity and reach to LPP Liberation Prison Project where Robin was a volunteer. I came home from the Colorado Department of Corrections about a year and a half ago and have been in and out of sobriety but have been doing better than I ever have. We had wrote back and forth a few times and she sent me some Dharma Books and I did not hear from her in a while and I knew she was sick and I found this last week. I know I would not be alive today if it was not for Robin and LPP and Wisdom Publications. I feel such a loss and I just dont know how to put into words what I am feeling right now. She had such an impact on my life and gave me the inspiration to live by teaching me the Dharma and showing me the way. You will be terribly missed old friend. We corresponded for 20 years or more but I am sure we have been traveling companions throughout many lifetimes. I will be always be looking for you in the next lifetime............... Namaste Old Friend...........
