I really like this one. I noticed you noted the errata on your -- is it difficult to change once they are up? You put so much work into these, they really are wonderful.

Thanks, KL. Yep ... once it is up .. it's up. To be truthful I am not really bothered by it. But noting it does keep others from bothering about it ... lol:)

You have such an expressive voice that is both playful and full of wisdom, dancing us across time and into our own souls. So fulfilling to listen and watch. :)

I enjoyed the energy you delivered with your video. The pace was a little hectic for me, but my mind wants to soak and ponder the luxurious thoughts of my friends. Theology aside, the philosophies are helpful and truths could warm many a cold soul searching for meaning wearing a very naked psyche. The discussion of the ego was a little silly, but a fun look at how we try to manipulate ourselves into betterment.
I see a woman growing and blossoming as she shares her experience.
Thank you for the energy you put into your work.

lots left to define in suffering my friend Pryde :) and one must come to the line that defines science and religion ;) no matter who the sojourner .. and physically naked .. well ... there is less we can hide .. ;)
just saying!
what an invigorating poem/prose/lesson :)) always love visiting you!

Hi E … my interest in religion is mostly a intellectual one … that and distillation down to the essential truth of the soul … science is the study of the fabric of it … and although our men were physically naked they were well hidden beneath bravado and pride … the boy in his willingness to admit his physical frailties found the strength of love … it is all in how you look at it:)

[Einstein Noodle]

i guess that is what i am trying to say .. science?intellect can only go to a line ... where faith/trust/religion takes over .. i could be wrong of course ;) yes .. i agree that we can hide no matter what hide we are wearing ... but i think that being naked together chips away at (men's especially) pride ;) shrinking even more if it happens to be cold out ... :)) i love your stuff you know .. so much meat in your works .. inspirational and challenging and never a dissapointment

The epic Boy Who wore clothes is epic Pryde.
I saw that belief in suffering to transcend, at work in one of the cells of novice (a friend of the family) of a holy order whose convent is close to my home. She only had a bed a chair and a table in her cell (room).
Interesting episode of the Sip.
Thanks for the RR

Thank you, ANTO … I don't know did she choose suffering or simplicity ???

I remember reading this one in words long back but listening to it in your voice was pure delicacy.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Avinash:)
