The beginning of a new beginning...

Thursday May 14, 09
Yesterday marked the inauguration of my career as a speaker... Invited by a dear friend, Raynor Needleman of Sausalito, I addressed a group of her invitees on my favorite subjects: birth, death, and the mystical moment in between. Unmasking the Near Stranger, A Frank Discussion About Life in the Hereafter, proceeded with such intense focus, even at the appropriate pause, no one in the room dove headlong for the snack table (which was right in the center of us all), or the bathroom. I was amazed!
The openness each visitor brought to the gathering turned the key to a mystical doorway that elevated the conversation, and indeed, all of us, into a rareified place. Two natural completion moments passed... yet the space remained filled with questions and further discussion until, needing to bring the night to a close, I simply got up and walked out of the room. The spell finally broken, bunches of fingers then fished through the many bowls of chips and cookies, reminding us all that life can be fun.
