When encouraging an initiate to continue to listen to shortwave despite the
often poor reception, I feel that it is better to emphasize that things may
not be quite like one would expect when listening to local broadcast AM.

I appreciate your discernment, and I do agree.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah.

You see it clearly in the loneliest little avenues between particles and

strands of time, so big it cannot be seen, yet so little it is immovable,
lies the fabric of the ultimate reality gripped in the tiny fist of the all
or nothing."
