THOM BURLINGTON BLOG

I want to repeat here part of the note I sent to you through our Turbo Community communication lines earlier. This way, anyone who wanders by can sense the admiration that so many of your students feel.

I hope you, the reader, will take a few moments to read John’s article, here:  http://www.johndelavera.com/blog

Here I am very early on this special, bright shiny new day, listening for the peck, peck, peck, and the cracking of shells, and the squawking and screeching and cries of surprise as you emerge into the light, friendship and wonder that is always waiting for you at the awakening of a new day, but especially this one.

It is really great that you have such a large, kind and stimulating flock of birds fluttering all around you. Reminds me of some fabulous tropical island with so many exotic species colours sounds, and even smells no doubt.

I would like others to know that I feel very fortunate to have met you in person at the Turboseminar, not only because it was a lot of fun. We humans have some kind of special wiring that allows us to connect with each other regardless of physical distance, but I think it helps to create the initial resonance with a personal meeting physically. Thank you so much for taking the initiative and risk of starting your new path partly with that seminar. I am excited as we go forward.

Your writing above and the events of the past few weeks remind me also of a couple of important things. We surely need to pause and contemplate and weigh the balance of our choices and actions, and it is equally important to be courageous and persistent in our self evaluation. The lesson is both that we can change for the better from this moment forward, and we can learn from our mistakes without becoming too discouraged (for more than a moment to recognize it.)  And, well, that’s what friends are for, isn’t it. (I must spend more time in the Turbo Forum.)
