When the words do come, they come hard. Thank you and i'm definitely not worthy. :) One thing i've learned, particularly during this trip, is that when people feel overwhelming appreciation for another, it's often a reflection of their own bright spirit more than anything else. One man in particular went on and on about Mark and I, practically calling us saints for about an hour when all we did was help pick up some trash after a party. His response was so over-the-top that it was clear that it had so much less to do with us than with his overflowing spirit of reverence. From your comments, it's pretty clear that your flame is a fully lit one. Shine on, sister. Happy Diwali, :) John Wow, Katy. When the words do come, they come hard.

IT IS UNBELIEVEABLE. you js, are a miracle within a miracle and i am honored and blessed to know you and experience your radiance. you amaze me and i reel in the thoughts of how i might be able to truly express how much love, respect, and thanks that i have for you. namaste brother. continue to push ahead and improve in health. i pray for you each day and i have much faith. i send you love, love, love. thank you, kt js,
