At times my mind wandered & needed to be drawn back into the dialogue. I need to read it again to appreciate it all the more. Thanks David. Your writing seems effortless. Simply wonderful reading.

There are so many levels to this story, and it has touched and intrigued me on many levels. Just what I needed to learn today

Two days ago, my oldest friend - who introduced me to your work - told me how disappointed she was in your writing more and being more public about the work... she felt that you were "going commercial." If what I have just read is you going commercial, please keep it up. We need all the re-minders we can get about how to be in the world. 🙏🙏🧡❤️🙏🙏

I loved this story and I especially loved your ‘spoonerism’.

Thank you David

Thank you for the clarity, David. That’s very much what I was thinking, but couldn’t quite articulate.

💜 I saved this to read in a quiet moment, not on a computer, but outside in the beauty of all that surrounded me. I was not disappointed. Thank you ~ xoxo 🥰

I feel so privileged to have read this story. It reminds me, on a dull overcast day, that world is full light, hope and delight. It is a blessing of words. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I absolutely loved the audio while I was out walking next to the sea. Please, please do more. Thank you so much 👏

Hmmm. So, is Karma itself not also formed by our minds? A part of the seemingly solid rock face along the cliffside path? Is this the mechanism whereby dharma practice purifies karma, by clarifying our minds? It’s a question that’s been vexing me.

This wonderful short story brought me back to the middle road – thank you, thank you. I have read all your books and drifted a bit in the last month or so, but am soundly grounded again in the teachings you, David, so simply and powerfully present. I would so wish to find a Loma Sonam as an "in the flesh teacher"! Blessings to you.

Thank you David. I listened to this sweet story with the profound teaching (while driving (to the Swan Valley). I also enjoyed reading it at home & being able to pause for a few moments here and there 🌻

So enjoyable. I'm about to move onward to one of your non-fiction books on Buddhism. I am an ingenue thus far...
