January Magazine // 2000, The Sons of Dune,by Linda Richards wrote:BH:Two weeks after that a safety deposit box appeared that had been missing for 11 years and it just seemed very kharmic. But I think it was my mother involved because she was in touch with other realms. In fact, she would tell dad when it was safe to travel and when it wasn't and various other things. She could find things that were lost: she was definitely in touch. And I think my mother was telling me that it was OK. That this was the right team to do the project. I really believe that.
