Ken, the brilliance, scope and necessity of your work, your presence, kindness, consistency, vulnerability, willingness to share, courage, leadership and so much more are a priceless gift to humanity and to individuals like myself. I’d give you the world. We need to give it to one another. I’m intimately aware of the realities of chronic illness, mystery illness, and chronic pain and as you’ve said, it’s something you couldn’t bear to place on another human being. I hold my awakened journey of development in the highest regard, yet, in some ways it pales in comparison to the possibilities presented along the journey of chronic illness and pain. Your essence and your work has been and continues to be a light in my life. Your example of resilience and persistence in the face of illness continues to be a source of inspiration. I don’t like to consider human beings as having flaws per se (often illness is perceived as a flaw-if only I/he/she didn’t have THAT), rather we are the infinite example of Life’s potential to express infinite variety. The particular compilation that is YOU is quite STELLAR. Keep on keepin’ on. <3
