Dearest Martha...I can't help but address this to you as a living being...because you are. You are present in the hearts of legions of students, retreatants, readers, translators, authors, poets, teachers, organizers, donators, receivers, friends, children, grandchildren, monastics, administrators, gardeners and, and, and...living and yet to live. At this moment I am touching your hearty laugh, twinkly smile, and humble modesty of being such a basically good human. xox
