Thanks Heather. Im enjoying your dispatches very much.

This reminds me of my own vows taken ‘Down Under’ a few years back……

Thanks for sharing your link. Very beautiful vows. I love your reference to “sloppy conversations.” They’re so much easier to have than tidy ones! Also I’d love to read what you wrote about the Allegory of the Cave as I was thinking about giving a talk on the Zen of this story. I couldn’t open then essay link cause of wonky WiFi here. Email it if you can. Bowing
