| Dear Friends, I hope Labor Day weekend brought you an abundance of rest and amusement in joyful proportion. I’m recovering from a little road trip and a glorious weekend of zikr-ing with friends in Kansas. After doing one of our noon zooms from a truck stop that sells fried pie, I mentioned to Rahima that I solidly believe the world is weirder because we’re in it. Sounds like a good goal, eh? Please, friends, feel very welcome to join us in the delights of alternative spiritual path practices with heart, humor, and sincerity.
