M & D Group Read ( will it cont.?)

[Smoke Teff]

I regret that I haven't been a more active participant thus far. I
underestimated how large (and how positive) a disruption the ayahuasca
ceremony I took part in would be. I am still in the stage of learning how
to integrate it. But I am also on the other side of the experience now, and
am ready to redouble my efforts in participating in the group read.

Am happy to be one of even just a few folks contributing occasionally,
whose thoughts can be read and responded to, or merely read, or merely
ignored.

I plan to carry through with my own personal read regardless. I am grateful
for everything everyone posts, even that which I haven't yet responded to
publicly. It is enriching my own experience immensely.

I'm currently mostly back on Ch. 10--hope to catch up to you, Joseph,
throughout the week.
