energy – "I of my own knowledge…"

My rough estimate is that Robert Bruce’s weekend conference drew 40 to 50 people, and if any of them were disappointed, I didn’t happen to meet them.

I close my eyes and move my energy, feeling my connection to the earth – and am staggered by what seems almost a physical impact. The place has presence! I feel it, and feel instantly more alive, more joyous, as if someone had turned up my rheostat.
