I read this as soon as it arrived and I LOVE IT. Been swimming upstream all week and finally here to tell you how very moved I was by all of it, starting with Barton Springs and ending with Japan. I have had a dedicated meditation practice for the better part of twenty years and I’m pretty sure I haven’t yet gotten past “one.” However, every time I jump in the springs—usually 4-5 times per week—I know with absolute certainty that for the split second I splash in, my mind will be utterly free of all thinking. It’s why I do it. What a gift. So glad I got to see y’all there on Monday.
That underworld is such a thing of beauty

And getting past one... SAME!!!
Thank you so much, Spike! It was great seeing you there Monday, and YES! The springs – it is so much to so many of us!
