| Beloved Friends, It’s a grey day in my cozy Colorado home…and still the birds are singing like frenzied mad things! They know a Spring impulse when they feel it. Sky color and thermometer readings be damned. Not really damned, you know…just not to be put at the center of our experience. I’m recovering from a Spring cold that zapped a lot of my energy this week, but my life force is strong and I’m aiming to be with you in Denver tomorrow for Sufi shenanigans. I have some new things in the hopper along with the usual offerings that you all know and love! COMMUNITY POLL: How comfortable are you talking about death? Mundane, spiritual, personal, philosophical? It’s in my awareness as a prevalent theme in many conversations and I’m feeling a renewed impulse to offer an online and/or in-person circle for conversation, planning, spiritual teachings, and nitty-gritty considerations. Want it? Date and time preferences?
