Beloved Community, 
This afternoon, I saw the most excellent life sized skeleton on a front porch. Yep. That’s the season. The days have shrunk, the nights have grown, the moon wanes and we keep on singing and praying and shining. 

Thursday, September 15th – In an Eastern Rose Garden Sufi Class – 7 PM Mountain (1 AM Friday UTC) – Zoom Here!  – I’ll bring a doughnut.
