The Big Thank You List

This is piece of Buddhist philosophy that I try to remember. The generosity that Maria and I have encountered on our travels is so overwhelmingly enormous that we must be doing something right some of the time!

What follows is the Big Thank You List, starting from now, 10am April 12, 2000, in Cincinnati. We'll be adding to it constantly I know. You all know who you are, Zrazy Angels, so if you don't at first appear, you will soon.
