| From the mind and spirit
of Novice Sister Iona Dubble Wyde, comes this inspiration of
Darshan here in our community of San Diego. Darshan is a Sanskrit term meaning sight (in the sense of an instance of seeing something or somebody), vision, apparition, or a glimpse. It is most commonly used for visions of the divine; that is, of a god or a very holy person or artifact.

divine for us in the gay community than to care for our own. What
would be a better way to see the divine than to hand out information
to support our brothers and sisters in the community? "Join us in the spirit of promulgating joy by handing out ways for our GLBT family to protect themselves when they may be in harm's way. We shall be heading out on Friday to Urban Mo's to start our Darshan procession through the very heart of our neighborhood. "We will begin by branding the street in front Urban Mo's with JOY and handing out the barcards provided by the San Francisco MotherHouse to everyone we see inside and outside one of most popular and warmest places in the hood. From there we shall carry our procession down University Avenue spreading Hope in the face of fear and JOY to all we encounter until we hit Richs. There we will once again brand JOY on the side of the street and spread it through the lines and the people inside and out of Richs."
