I wasn't able to come to this event, Mitch, but I sure heard about it and some of that thanks to your blog, so DANKE.
I had such fun hearing about what it was like. Even though there's never anything "new" it's always unique, can never be duplicated and yes, the most fun ever.
So for #35 on this list, I'll add:
I always leave loving myself a little more.

It is always so special to be with him.

Sometimes, I am completely overwhelmed by an awareness of the possibility of what it means to be a human being and how far short of that potential I fall in my life. Then to hear him beckoning me to join him on this journey of self-fulfillment despite my shortcomings is almost too much to take. Is this what friendship and unconditional love are about? Is this how gratitude unfolds to heal the wounds of a broken heart? Is this the recognition of how fortunate I am to have witnessed the Master and felt the touch of his love in my life? Words are poor substitutes to describe what I am trying to express.
