Where's Benj been?

[benjifus]

This space has been remarkably silent over the past three weeks since my return over the atlantic pond. These weeks have been exhausting and full -- so full in fact, that I feel more physically worn out than I can ever recall feeling ever before. (No, I'm not sick, and I'm pretty sure of that. Just worn into the ground, but thanks for the concern

Well, I was out there.

As was I. also, did you meet Dan Schoenbrun like I said you should? or anyone else at Penn?

[benjifus]

yah-huh.
ask him about the barefoot, long-haired, banjo-playing hippy who danced weird.

don't sell yourself short

I'm not sure how this will develop -- I'm returning to the less fascinating life of a university student, after all.

i don't think your life as a university student is any less exciting than your life as a house builder. its the same you.
great stories and interesting experiences will certainly abound.

noticing that i didn't call you last week.
noticing that none of the things i wanted to check in with you about are *that* time sensitive.

glad that atlanta has refreshed and inspired you.

looking forward to seeing you again next week!

hugs

Lights of Return: Tshuva, coming

Benj!

It has been a great kavod to follow your postings and share your experiences from afar. It seems like the past year has brought powerful experiences for both of us, some parallel, others convergent. I am excited to find you again in the city of divine Providence in a couple of weeks.

I know it is a bit premature to start talking about Tshuva, but I am already feeling Elul approaching. May the coming year be for higher and higher levels of Tshuva for us, and more challenging, inspiring, awakening blessings.

with love
