Wow. I've seen so many of Conrad's reflections over the years. Very moved by his sincerity and humility. And intricacy of acceptance, inspiring equanimity. I'm suddenly reminded of the comment in the empty hands pilgrimage video about a fruit tree giving its greatest bounty in the last season of its life...and of Somik's new year's resolution some years back at an awakin-santa clara circle to give away as much of himself as he could... Dear Conrad, thank you for giving of yourself and inspiring so many of us coming up behind you.
