I met Michael, briefly, many times, over many years. I'm not certain we ever spoke to each other...possibly we did. But, like I feel connected to many sangha members, over many years, I feel connected to him...and must mention....that I see him omnipresently with his brief case. As tantra means continuity (and another I've never met, Lady Diana, whose passing today brings me to this site), I feel indebted to Michael, and the part he has placed in our community...as being a treasured part of it. Wishing Michael and his family only good wishes. Ira Z.
