Special Friend

The other day I thought about Maya Perez, recalling our friendship and her uniqueness as a woman of deep spirituality and insight. We met in Los Angeles in 1968, being introduced by my new husband,Dan. We saw each other on occasion over the next five years, up to the time of Dan's death. Then, Maya and I became associated together until I left the area with my two young sons in early January 1975. During this time, she stayed with me in my home or we stayed with her on a boat at Newport Beach. In this regard, I can attest to Maya's spiritual life. Her life in spirit was her life. She read Psalms in the morning, chanted, prayed and meditated. She radiated love and lightness, imparting the goodness and wisdom that was her nature. I read the chapters of the book online, and it all rings true to the way I knew her. Maya did drop a lot of names, but that was because she knew a lot of people and thought of us all as a large family. Family was very important to her, and she wanted everyone to find happiness. I could go on and on. Maya was an inspiration to me.

Well worth reading

Although the style of this book is not likely to dazzle the reader with the wonder of its prose, the content is wonderful. Maya Perez was an extraordinary woman, and the reader may catch a glimpse of this spirit even through the not quite translucent text of Born With a Veil. I don't feel I am particularly credulous, and I can affirm Maya was a Real Mystic.
