Thank You

I am forever grateful for the wisdom and love I've encountered in the meandering journey of doing these conversations. I can honestly say that I can die a happy man having had the chance to pause and witness so many moments of magic, at once fleeting and unforgettable. Thank you.

Note from 2023: The above was written in 2018, 5 years ago, and it is as true now as it ever was. Thank you again. I love you all!
