Feedback from Albuquerque

Upon awakening to the changes that the previous night’s storm had brought–18″ of snow, trees split, power lines down–Tess, our 9-year-old, pointed to a branch on the ground and exclaimed, “Oh, that’s our cat Gwinna’s favorite branch.” Justin’s words from his talk, “The Spiritual Life,” returned to me: “The true self grows to where it identifies with everything.” Letting our boundaries expand without predetermining their scope. Justin was “at home” with it all–the world series action, a browse in the Book Garden, a prayer over dinner–and he made it look so easy. Being with Justin hones one’s awareness and activates prajna: “Planting in the springtime, we harvest in the fall” (Abandon Hope). Thank you, Justin, for all those seeds.
