"~Waheguru.. waheguru.. waheguru.. waheguru.. waheguru.. Waahheguruuu... Waaahheeguuurruuu... Waahheegguruuu...~"

Sister was feeling so sleeeepyyy. Everything was so peeeacefuuul and she felt sooo relaaaxed. "~Waaaheeguruuuu.. waaaheguruuuu..~"

A little voice inside murmered, "Daas de pillow is close by wahe not put you head down for just one minute?" "~Waaaheeeguurrruuu~" "You can still naAM jap, just put you head down and listen inside," whispered the tiny inner voice.

She had been sitting for sometime now. It had been the most beautiful sweeeet time and she was tooo relaaxed. "~Waahheeguruu waheguru waheguru waaahheeeguruuuu.~"

She pulled her knees up and hugged them with her arms, and put her face down cradling it in her arms. Sooo cozy. There were still some precious moments left until dawn..

~Waaahegurruuu. waaheguruuu.Waaaheeee.. gggurrrr.. ruuuuuu~

"Hmmmm? What was that?" Sister opened her eyes, and blinked, it was SO light.

Daas and Kukoor were standing over her laughing. Kukoor playfully nuzzled her feet.. She giggled.

"Kukoor is giving you foot bath," Daas laughed.

"He's giving me Isnaan with Kukoor kisses " Sister giggled. "Ooohh Kukoor that tickles!" she laughed pulling her feet under her.

He came up and gave her a big Kukoor pooch, smooch, smack on the cheek. "Ohh kukoor," she shrieked laughing, and jumped up and began to run. It had been raining nectar just a little while ago. Kukoor caught the corner of her cholaa and she went face down SPLASH! right in to a pool of nectar. Daas laughed harder. " HA ha WAH! ha, He got you good for all those Prem dhey tear soakings you've been giving him ha ha!"

"HA ha WAH! ha" Sister laughed back, " splashing nectar on them both, and that's for all the scrapes I have to get you out of little brother." splash! splash!!!

She stood up dripping with nectar, " Oh i'm totally drenched she giggled."

"Don't worry Sis," Daas said, We are just on our way down to the River of naAM, anyway. Pita ji said we may go swimming as long as Kukoor accompanies us, because He is a strong swimmer, and can keep us out of trouble.

Daas and Sister looked at each other and burst into laughter again. "Not Likely! " Sister said jokingly.

"Did Pita ji really say we may go into the the River of naAM, Daas?" asked sister in Awe. "It is so Deep and the Current is so strong."

"Really it is ok, Daas replied, Kukoor here is an Excellent swimmer, and I'm not so bad myself, he said puffing himself up a little, You're safe with me Kid."

Sister looked at Daas with a little concern, "When was the last time you went swimming Daas, she asked innocently,?" "Wahe it was just the other day", he replied, "in the Sukh Sagaar."

"Well Daas," Sister said seriously, inching closer, I don't think that you’ve had enough practice, and reached out to push Him into the Nectar Pool.

"HA! you got to be quicker than that big Sister. I wasn't reborn yesterday," he said taking off running with Kukoor and Sister in hot pursuit.

They raced down to the River of naAM.

"Daas I'll never catch up with you," Sister complained, "you are way far ahead of me."

Seeing that Kukoor was just about to take the lead, Daas decided to slow down, while he was ahead, and stopped to wait for his Sister to catch up. "Come on Sis," he said catching her by the hand. Let's do the Wah! Walk the rest of the way." So on they went, hand in hand, "Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru." Sister put her other hand through Kukoors collar. "Waheguru waheguru waheguru"

"Oohh look Daas," There it is Sister exclaimed excitedly, "The River of naAM. I can hardly wait to go in!."

"Sister," Daas declared seriously, "That river *is* very deep. We should do Ardaas before we attempt swimming in its current"

The could hear the vibration of Naam and see the Swift current as the

river went flowing by. It looked and sounded a little like Vaahe guroo, Vaahe guroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaahe guroo, Vaahe guroo,

~Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo,~

"I think you're right Daas, The current is very powerful and we are not so strong. Do Ardaas the we will be safe within it's flow, that we will be uplifted and carried by it's current." Then she jumped right in. "Daas, Kukoor, it's wonderful, come on in," Sister called. Suddenly she dissappeared.

"Looks like we get another drenching," Daas said to Kukoor as they dove in looking for Sister.

Just as suddenly, she reappeared sputtering, coughing, and laughing. "Careful you're going to choke," Daas laughed at her, almost choking himself. They both grabbed on to Kukoors collar. "What happened to you?" Daas asked.

"I got caught up in a Waheguru whirlpool," Sister replied. "WATCH OUT here we go again."

Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo,
Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo,

Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo, Vaaheguroo,

"That was just a little one. That was fun, she announced when they re-emerged.

"Sakhi Sister you are crazy," Daas laughed. Kukoor looked as if he was in full agreement. "Have you had enough yet?"

"Just once more" Sister pleaded, "Hold on tight now you two," and under they went again.

"WAH! WAH! WAH! GURUUUUUU!!!" sister sputtered.

"Now that's enough Sis, I'm hauling you out of here, Sehej Sister Sehej!

"Oh Daas, that's what you always say, said sister tiredly, for she’d really had enough, and was close to exhaustion, but didn't want to admit it.

Daas and Kukoor practically had to drag her out, she was so spent. "Oh thank you Daas and Kukoor ji, That was sach a great experience." she asserted throwing her self down. Daas and Kukoor joined her. "You two are probably a little hungry after all that excitement". Sister looked at them suggestively, her face contorting mischievously.

Daas eyes lit up. "What do you have in mind now Sister dear?" he inquired knowingly "hhmmm?"

"Oh just you're favorite snack she replied trying to look innocent, but succeeding only in looking sikhrehtive.

"Naam da Laddoo, Sis,! No Kidding?," Daas inquired sitting straight up in amazement. "How did you manage that?"

Oh just a little trick i learned from you in editing, Daas dear" she chuckled mirthfully.

"Oh quit teasing, I'm starved now that you mention it."

"Well here then," she said reaching in to the pocket of her cholla, "Have a Naam da Laddoo, this is from my sikhrhet stash," she winked.

""Mmmm... " Daas munched contentedly, "Gruuuuuuuvy Sis,"

Sister fed one to the Kukoor, "Here you go kukoor ji dear. Thanks for pulling me out of that Waheguru Whirlpool back there I thought I was gone for sure, then I felt your collar and a surge of power pulled me right up again.

"Another Sister please," begged Daas," Waaaahhhh."

"Don't be a baby, Daas you can have all you want sweetie."

"Goo Gaa" Daas replied, reaching for the Naam da Laddoo."

"Come on Daas, not in front of Kukoor, you want him to think you are Sisters little baby brother?"

"Sure," Daas agreed, "If it gets me the rest of the Naam da Laddoo, Sisso."

"But What about Kukoor he looks pretty hungry too.?"

"Yes, Sister, but he's not so interested in Naam da Laddoo. "You know That One likes to feed on Prem."

Sister looked a little alarmed, What do you mean Daas, She asked quietly."

"You should know Sis, you've fed him often enough." Daas replied blissfully, lost in His Naam da Laddoo.

Sister, looked at Kukoor, he was watching her intently now, His eyes like deep pools, reflecting light. "GRrrrruuuuooo" Kukoor, growled quietly.

Kukoor are you very hungry?' she asked very softly.

"GRrrruuu, "He answered looking at her steadily, unwaveringly as only a Kukoor can.

Sister moved a little behind daas and peered over his shoulder. "You feed him Daas," she whispered. The Kukoor was standing up, looking at them both. His eyes glowing deeply, intensely. Sister felt as though she was caught in an endless Waheguru whirlpool.

"I think he wants you too Sis," Daas replied a little more seriously, licking the sweetness from his fingers. "These Naam da Laddoo are really sticky."

"Sister caught him by the hand, don't let go Monkey" she whispered. "Don't think I can, my fingers are too sticky," he joked.

"BE serious Daas, I'm scared."

"It's ok Sis," he said gently,"It's not the first time."

But Daas, I have to go so deep... You know what that does to me."

"Go on sis, give him a piece of your heart. It's ok I'm right here with you. You'll feel better afterwards, I promise."

"Oh Kukoor, you are the searcher after hearts," Sister said in a small voice." Kokoor moved closer, he looked so large. He was gleaming, shining, like a sarab loh, batta, his fur, was curly and steely blue. He was tall and fierce looking, powerful, one of Pita jis most trusted Kukoors. His eyes were so deep, Sister felt as though she was falling into them from a great distance.

"You want the wounded part, Kukoor ji,?" She whispered,

"The part that is struck deep with His love?

The part of my heart which is Pierced with his Arrows of Love, His Prem dhey Theer?

That part which bleed Crimson with Prem dhey tears like nectar drops from the windows of my soul?

That part of my heart which once having known True Love can never be satisfied again, with anything but His naAM?"

"GRRRUU, GRrruuuooo. "

She knelt and put her arms around the kukoors neck, buried her face deep into his fur, and wept silently, Holding Daas hand very tightly. "Feast then Kukoor dear," She whispered lovingly,

Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru

"Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru SIS??? "

She opened here eyes... Hmmmm???

Daas and Kukoor, were sitting quietly next to her...(looking rather well behaved she thought a little disrespectfully.)

"Look Sis the sun is up, AMrit Vela is over. Did you fall asleep again? I keep telling you Sehej, Kid sehej. You got to take it easy, take better care of yourself."

"Ok, She replied sweetly... Mmm I'm a little hungry."

"What would you like, what is it you want specifically?" Daas asked with a funny little 'now what?' look on his face.

Sister reached out and took his hand, put it to her face, and stroked Kukoors silky ears with her other...

***"Mmm maybe a nice, ripe, sweet, juicy, peach....."***
