The first day of the new year. 2010. It’s ten years since the following messages were written in my Daily Office scripture book.

Sun and mist come and go –
And always the Mountain remains.
HY

In gratitude for all that has been given;
for all we are, collectively and singly;
for all that will be received,
and in readiness…
LD

How fortunate we are…
To meet friends
along the way.
JB

Yes, how very fortunate we are.

The first words my Master spoke to me were, Come in friend! in response to my opening a door to the room she was in. I can hear her still.

We celebrate Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett’s birthday this morning with a ceremony, The Festival of the Birth of our Founder. Without her, this place would not be in existence.

Thank you friends. Please continue to come here, you are welcomed.
