Just a few days ago I got the following note from an old friend I rarely see as he now lives in Italy. "Thanks for the gift of your latest magazine, #29. The article on the Buddhist Monk who bowed his way up the California coast really touched me. I lived in Inverness in the 70s and was witness to these two men, walking and bowing, walking and bowing. It was a big event in West Marin when they passed through. The Point Reyes Light, the local newspaper, did an edition on them and Buddhism, if I remember. We went to watch them several times as they made their slow way north." This note, and the long distant connection it tells of, gives me a kind of surprised delight I don't know how to describe.
