Jikoji am. Myself, Gerow, Dan, Gary, Michael S, Jesse and myself. Dan's being ordained this Friday by Doug. Jesse's a key player at https://rmerc.org/ in Boulder and has history/connections to Michael Newhall. Gary's an MD who adopted and practiced acupuncture (I'm a skeptic) and said he 'found a way to do work that expresses who he is". I thought that poignant. I stopped at Madronia on the way home and found a sense of strong connection in doing so, like I felt in Colorado. That it's all a part of the chaos of any journey and nothing can be expected to have gone otherwise. It just 'is'. I returned home and cranked out the 'special edition' newsletter and sent it out for limited review with a plan to send it tomorrow. Jen and I went and wine tasted at Gali before going to the Jazz in the Plazz. It was an enjoyable date night. I'm routinely grateful for all we have and get to experience. Even the simply things, like sitting in a park listening to music, are gifts.
