Marisa Tonello has been a Trustee and Volunteer at the Center for Spiritual Living for ages. Not many folk know that she not only installed our phone and computer network wiring, but she donated a whole bunch of it and the hours to do it. Fortunately for us, Marisa put phone/network jacks into places we swore we would never ever need them.
Seva means selfless services. Marisa must then be a Sevite? Georgett and Jerry invented that word. Someone pointed out to me that there can't ever be such a thing as self-less service because there is only one self and whatever we do we ultimately do for ourselves anyway - even if we call it service-t0-another. Interesting. There is a difference in flavor between service that demands recognition and service that has no demand. Guess which one I like better
Marisa's birthday was on August 21 - you can frequently find here outside the Center cleaning it up.
