Dear Neo:
I thank you for your friendly note. And I return to you its essence of peace and consideration.
Your NYC Trip post definitely contributed to the quantum jump I have experienced in Perception and Participation.
The joy, adventure, excitement, and fulfillment, you displayed, sang of life as a positive, hopeful, and, by necessity, communal experience.
That along with the unemotional, objective, caring observations of my wise friend, Suzie, did the trick.
I have stood outside The Hall - tossing rocks at its windows - for too long. Instead of continuing to mock and discriminate, I have walked in - and am thrilling to its beauty and diverse harmonies.
In only one way can this be paralleled to Finding Jesus, or stuff like that. That is the Joy of Discovery.
A Happy New Year to You and All.
George
PS: Part of the above can be attributed to the recollections of Monica that you and Suzie set off in me. I recalled that she did not badmouth, publicly or privately. Even people who did her profound injustice were treated hugely, and with kindness. |
