What a precious person you are. I was so happy that you were at the Intensive. You are one of the few people I had an opportunity to actually speak with when attending the inquiries. You make me smile and feeling your buddha ness across the zendo gave me great comfort.....hug hug hug....will see more of you soon. Liz
