A Debt of Gratitude

I have repeatedly thought of you and your family over the past few years. Lately, it seems the dialogue I had with you at your office, though it was motivated by other exigencies, most memorable for our talk of life and death, has been particularly frequent in my thoughts.

I have traveled a bewilderingly circuitous path, and continue to do so in the illusion that I am moving in a determined direction. My progress, if it exists, is in my spiritual development. Without going into details, I continue to "do" in the search to "be".

I just want to thank you. Your words that day, well chosen, direct, reached me profoundly. I wish we could have more time together.

Love and respect,

Reverend Sylvain Chamberland, Nyudo
