Phelim -- How wonderful to share and feel the success of what is happening in the moment. Thank you for making us part of this. Who knows as a result of you planning and holding this space with such heartfelt intention, the spirit may live on and we may even have Harrison "singing and perhaps dancing in circle in Berlin in May". His words seem to suggest some experience and hidden talent perhaps! Suzanne
