It was truly amazing meeting up with everyone last night. I am seldom surprised at the quality of connections capable when creative sorts get together, but this evening I was more than delighted! Let's do this again, and again!

I really enjoyed that first meeting and, like Melissa, am wondering how I can contribute. I like writing dialogue and enjoy Paulo Coelho's writings so wonder if I can try to either sketch out a dramatical scene or a poem in his purposeful way. To start though I would love to have a recommendation from Puran and others on a good primer for Sufism. Pam, just loved your poem and that emotive song.

..Katie, I went to a Shakuhachi concert last fall and do hope you can play for us, as I hope for Richard too! And the photos by Melissa. Just wanted to end by mentioning that last week was pretty drab, IT wise, but ended beautifully in seeing the movie Pina, about the choreographer Pina Busch. Wild, wacky, innovative! I hope to learn so much from the group. And I have already...

Charlie,
I can see that the meeting really resonated with you. That is amazing. For me it inspired me to connect more with a sense of creativity that has always been there but has gotten lost in the daily grind of making a living. I long to re-connect with that. I do that to some extent through my photography but I know that I need to give myself permission to do more with that side of who I am. Thanks to all of you for inspiring me.
