In this community, we have so many resources to connect us to the reality that nothing that has ever brought us joy is ever lost. Among those resources are the reading materials and the talks and little pamphlets like the one i reference in the video. But the greatest resource is each other. One of the joys that I discovered in this place is that at any moment I feel like I can talk to any person and be in a conversation about the highest possibilities in life.
