The Himalayan Imports Forum and Cantina
Meeting via this medium, some truly remarkable human beings, generous and spontaneous in their generosity, as well as intelligent and with a breadth and depth of knowledge that still rocks me on my heels.
That Bill Martino has no more pain and Rusty no more apprehensions.
That the surgeries, treatments, rehabilitations, and efforts of and for the folks who frequent this place, and the loved ones they mention in need, seem to be going in positive directions.
That my kids are ok, albeit with warped senses of humor.
That those I know who have gone over there, have come back intact.
That the newer folks in the Cantina are of the quality they seem to be, and that they can teach me more about skills, crafts, and how to live life.
That even in direct opposition with one another, the folks who visit here use courtesy, respect, and tolerance in their on-going discussions.
That Yangdu, and BirGorkha, seem to be doing well, with on-going business, and new experiments in blade shape, while maintaining a customer service attitude which is exemplar.
That a good friend is fighting his own demons and beating them, day-by-day, without fan-fare or chest-beating.
That other friends, gone now, were in my life and gave me the opportunities to "spend" the time, the currency of my life, with them.
That I've had the opportunities to have lived in the remarkable period of time over the past 60 years, and have shared in moments of profound personal meaning to me.
Thanks.
Be well and safe.
