Cross Country #43 Sanctuary Much

Dear Family, Friends and Virtual Community:
    We invite your participation in a closing ritual for this accidental spiritual travelog.
It is a Jewish tradition to hold a "siyyum", a summary teaching upon the completion of the study of a text. One shares something of what has been learned, loved, questioned, or changed as a result of their reading.
    We ask that you send us a comment, reflection, insight, possibly a blessing that we can keep as the final chapter of this journey. If you prefer that we keep your note private, please indicate that. Meanwhile we are taking a week or so formulate our own closing thoughts.
    We're writing you this note from our home in Reading, Pennsylvania (at least til we find an apartment in New York City). Re-entry has had its ironies, including Goldie's fancy fairly new red hot sports car having alternator problems upon arrival in Philadelphia and Barry crossing paths with Johnny Cochran in the bathroom at the repair garage.
    A therapist once said Goldie's life would be turned down as the plot for a soap opera on the grounds of implausibility. We are all witnesses to that.
    Love and blessings, Barry and Goldie
