Perspectives

Hi there,
It is 11pm, Thursday evening. One hour ago I finished teaching the last evening seminar.

In the last three days, I have given 5 seminars of 3 hours each to 130 people. I have talked for 15 hours plus since Tuesday morning. This is almost unfathomable for a city hermit! It was in the middle of the second day, when I counted up the hours and realized the magnitude of what I was doing. It is almost more surprising that I only figured that out then!!

In fact, I was considering yesterday - in the middle break of my 6 hours of speaking that day - that I still needed to continue preparations for Friday night (yet to come). And my responsive thought was - Oh, no big deal, it is only 40 minutes. (my goodness!)

Can I say that my perspectives have changed? Yes!!!

Can I say that I have been stretched? Yes!!!

Can I say that I have been learning and receiving much in this part of my trip? Yes!! Double Yes!!!

This is an amazing journey.
How do I tell you of all these things?

So, the seminars are finished. I would start them all over again tomorrow if I could.

Peace,
Mary
