Praxis — I love that it is “Axis”.
Heard you speak at GreenFest Seattle today — May 22 2011 — now the Blessed number 23 — as it is after Midnight. Very sleepy, but Mission not complete until I say:
“Thank You Dr. S.” for a swell (as in rising tide of Energy) ending to a Great GreenFest.
Now THIS is Manifesting Destiny!
Thank you for speaking from your Heart, as I am sure you always do — I could not stay to say “thank you” in person, as I had to grab the last (very poor regional public transportation between Seattle and her satellite areas) bus out of town to my homestead in the woods. I regret that I could not say “thank you” in person, and I see no other way to express that but here — hope the message reaches you. You are doing something wonderful. Midwifing Butterflies is hard work and you do it so well. I thank you sincerely — please stay in touch with us!
We will Remember your Words and Embody your Intent as it Emerges so well with our own…. for the benefit of All; For the All, of the All, All-Is-One Awakened from within.
Thanks for the kind words! Although the audience was bigger for some of the more “famous” speakers, I felt that there was a real energy and kinship in the room for the message of inclusivity and societal transformation.
Thank you for attending and for lending your energy to our effort. Hopefully, you’ll sign up for Praxis and we’ll get to chat on a regular basis.
Peace,
Sharif
We met and talked at Breightenbush on the 20th of May. Hope to run across paths again. Steve & Ellanna
