I love the point about the web decentralizing our focus, but in actuality I’m not so sure that it reduces our effectiveness, given that there’s so much *more* attention and enthusiasm, I think it just gives more outlets for a LOT more enthusiasm. The altruistic tide raises the other altruistic boats? Perhaps we’ll call that the Reganomics of compassion? =)

As an aside, I will be ordaining as a Buddhist monk, most likely within the next 9 months. I’m so pleased to see your aspiration that all should be happy. Merely to hold that aspiration momentarily is an exceptionally very beneficial thing.

I hope NYC is treating you well, my friend.
