Donald, Anne and Claire,
Per our conversation about taxes and money (all of which can be disjunctive, isolating, or estranging),
I'm feeling enough emotional support these months from
the large, urban, San Francisco Friends' Meeting community,
but not necessarily in terms of creatively eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology,
especially as a community,
(and also not in terms of WUaS).
I'm thinking here of learning from the Grateful Dead,
or the Harbin warm pool,
but especially in a f/Friendly way vis-a-vis
trust and care that rocks {quakes? :} and gathers,
with, as one, real, Quaker/F/friendly example,
perhaps the remarkable amount of love I saw within the
teen program between the
Edinburgh / Glasgow, Scotland, Meetings in 2003-2004
{Yay for Quaker kids}.
I see all of these as expressions of the
'valley of love and delight,'
in the old, Shaker/Quaker song,
"Simple Gifts," -

but I'm wondering whether others among us are not.
Are people feeling supported / receiving enough support among us four?
How might we find and give the care, joy and support we would like and can receive {and give}?
Friendly regards,
Scott
