As you and Tom both beautifully demonstrate, inquiry and appreciation (attention, Heart, Love, &c.) do evidently usher us deeper and deeper into the everpresent Wholeness of here-now, whether we approach the Mystery of Us as artist, scientist, poet, musician, lover, priest, warrior, seeker, gardener, forester, smith, or mason. Friend, child, or parent ... all different flavors of Love :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
