Looking in the Mirror–Interview on Zen and Genki

 
Last week Anne Molna posted an interview she did with me on the Zen & Genki blog. We had been working on the interview for a while and I must admit that despite Anne’s heads-up that it was being posted, I was not fully prepared to see it. I mean I knew the questions and the answers and nothing in the interview was a revelation to me… it shouldn’t be right? But somehow reading through the interview through Anne’s eyes brought about a whole ton of emotions that I was not prepared for.

Was it because the questions and answers touched areas of my life that I had not turned over for a while? Was it because of the wonderful comments that followed the interview on the blog and off? I don’t know. I think that maybe the answer is yes and yes.

So Anne, thank you again for making me look in the mirror. And thanks to all your readers who commented so nicely about the interview. I am touched and grateful.
