I agree that too much energy has been spent on getting these guys the way they SHOULD be gotten and I’m just glad to see him gone already.

A new perspective on this goal
2 years ago
Now that I’m home and ready to work on my life again – China was great but it’s so good to be back – I’ve got some new perspective and it is thrilling. I’m really excited (pardon my vagueness for a while) to balance the taking with the giving in a new situation which has developed only very recently. But it will take all of my focus and energy to take just as much as I give or even less. Balance, baby, balance.
