Re: Hello!-JoshO

Dear Elad -

First of all, just Hello. It has been quite a long time since we have reconnected, and I hope this note finds you very very well. I'm not quite sure about an answer to the very last question(s) you posed, but at this moment I'm not most concerned about that. I will find my way back to ...

Re: Hello!-JoshO

Dear Elad -

First to allow me to say, just simply: thank you - thank you - thank you - thank you for being there/here. And please accept my apology for the strange delay/lapse of time since you last wrote, back on 10/17. This work goes on every day, every day of this life – and it can be strange to ...

Re: Hello!-JoshO

Dear Elad -

It has been another year, I'm somewhat amazed to see, since we were last in touch... even as I have kept at the work of this process every single day. I returned to our LU page here during this past week and was amazed to find that my doing so had taken place, completely without aiming ...

Re: Hello!-JoshO

Dear Elad -

I just went back to find what you last wrote me, and to my amazement your note arrived on Tuesday Feb 25, already ten days ago. I hope it doesn't create any poor impression to respond as and when I have done so -- I surely don't mean to be rude and hope you have had not the slightest ...

Re: Hello!-JoshO

Dear Elad -

I began my day's writing practice as I do, highlight and then responding to the text of a daily message from a New Mexico-based organization known as "The Center for Action and Contemplation"... and the day's practice turned into my response to you. I will include the whole thing below ...

Re: Hello!-JoshO

Dear Elad –

I was very glad just to see your “admin5229” address in my email inbox yesterday morning – it inspired a smile and a good feeling to see your response had arisen, that it had reached me, that you are still there, that we are able to reconnect so easily. Hello!

I would love to reconnect ...

Re: Hello!-JoshO

Dear Elad -

Greetings (!) after what has become a longer time than I ever intended. I tried but did not succeed in joining you for the end of the Awakening & Consultation Zoom meeting this morning, intending to say hello at you again and let you know that it feels like time, if not past time, to ...

Re: Hello!-JoshO

Dear Elad -

Very briefly, thank you. At the moment, I'm not quite sure exactly what is most needed, but I know for sure that I am glad just to have reconnected with you this little bit. I have been working more or less on my own for several months in a process that has felt both very valuable and ...

Re: Hello!-JoshO

Greetings Dear Elad!

Just to jump back in with some vigor and immediately:

Below you will find a written result of my morning practice, which I now share with you as a step toward re-opening our contact and maybe even our being in some kind of more-frequent conversation, if that can work for you ...

Allow me to begin with today's reading from Richard Rohr, which is how I complete morning practice these days:

Re: Hello!-JoshO

Dear Elad -

Thank you so much for sending this, and for thinking of me. I was so glad to have met with you the other day, and I appreciate your care across the apparent miles (or kilometers) and the modern miracle of a conversation that has become possible now between two points located at a ...

Re: Hello!-JoshO

Dear Elad -

I hope this finds you very well. I have been meaning to write and check back in for a little while now at least. Here's the latest:

What feels like very good work indeed has been happening recently, centered on the practice of meditation, which appears to be bearing fruit in ways that ...
