I was watching Gold Mind today, and kept thinking of you behind the scenes, making things work so beautifully. I wanted to thank you for that. For supporting the magnificent Shiloh, for your generosity which feels to me to be a natural response to gratitude. I wish we lived closer, my beloved Charles and I, for you would love him, and we would love to attend some of your chef gatherings. perhaps one day. and if the two of you ever find your way to Sedona where we live, please let us know. I am sure there are many members of my wise women community who would love to meet you both and participate in some kind of event...much love, Rhianne NewLahnd

WDYDWYD???

I saw it! 2007...maybe they did it multiple times...

I found it so enlightening to look and instantly see the full question...without a moment my mind knew...

Now all these years later, an invitation to this? How freaking cool is that!

You look super HOT the desert!!

I love every word of this...the Leonard Cohen Anthem keeps ringing the bell that still can ring!

Love you and Shiloh so much!

Glad they only killed you for a second buddy!!

Sacred gratitude abounds xo

I was a participant in that project with its author, Tony Deifel. I took 1200 of those images and made a photo collage on the back of Center camp wall.

Truly brilliant art!!

Awakening, peace, understanding, love . . as reminded to me by Thich Nhat Hanh, such a gentle, wise soul. Thank you, Jonathan :). for speaking on that which matters!

I love Sedona. I had some excellent golfing there many years ago. Thanks for the kind words.

When it first happened, I was concentrating on something and I thought a fly was buzzing around my eye, and I kept trying to swat it away. Then I realized that there was no fly, and I thought I had something 'in' my eye. So, I washed it out and nope, still there. It actually helps me read better, because it tracks across the page text as my eye moves. Like a cursor. Gratitude.
