feels good, and works well for the - - it will because of the continuing
efforts of people such as your self who believed in them and continued to open
space for their lives to grow in. As you described so well -- some will choose
to enter that space and some won't. I am not surprised the government
officials were slow to enter. In my experience, such people often see
their job as The "Closers" of Space. . . so why would they want to support
something that would put them out of business? And then there was "that woman"
who called. She obviously "got it". When that happens to me it makes
everything worth while. And for sure -- what actually happens has little if
anything to do with what I might have planned. Which is almost inevitably a
blessing. My plans look so weak compared to what actually
happens.<BR><BR>Great to hear from you.<BR><BR>Harrison<BR><BR><X-SIGSEP>
