Joelle--

You are always the voice of kindness and gentleness.

This is quite profound and I will try it next time. (I did not just sit
in the main space, watching, listening. I was always moving.)

Ouch! But of course it is right (and a gentle ouch).

Thank you, Joelle. You have given very good medicine.
