We released Conrad's book last week, and today, we received a beautiful note from Steven Taylor, one of Conrad's friends:

Thank you to those at Awakin!

Although I've been in correspondence with Conrad for years, and we've worked on projects over the phone and of course spoken during our internet meetings, I've never met Conrad in person. For that I am sorry; yet, I feel I have been close to him in the profoundest sense through his work, and by way of the thousand kindnesses he gave me.

This book, his thoughts, the phone call and the video have brought me closer still. The sound of his voice—wavering between strength and frailty, sometimes passing into a whisper—put me in mind of the surge and pull of waves along a peaceful shore. Gentle, vulnerable, but breaking still with patient, inevitable momentum. Nothing could be more more enlightening. And that was Conrad.

I recently read a Native American proverb that now means much more to me: "When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that, when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."

Thanks again for this.
