Welcome to another episode of Mindfulness Plus.

My name is Thomas Mekonki, and we have a guest in studio today who's more dear to me than I can say, David Timson.

David, thanks for being here.

It's my pleasure. Where to begin? My heart, my heart just here. It's my pleasure.

Where to begin?

My heart, my heart just bursts and it's just, you know, there are no walls, no floors,

no ceilings here.

You've always brought that out in me.

I met David.

I've probably talked about him in this podcast that during some season, some episode, there's a time in my life where I was just getting sick and tired of suffering so much.

And I kind of cried out and said, I need a path. I need a teacher. I need something. And David showed up as a great friend and mentor and advocate and teacher and all sorts of beautiful archetypes. And, you know, David, I can't even speak to

what a beautiful friendship and life it's been with you. Well, and I'll have to say that it's been

equally good for me because you're just your,

your open heart and your powerful ability to express your feelings and ideas has always inspired

me.

So it's been, it's gone both ways.

Thanks, David.

So we go back.

I met David when I was about 18, so this is 1998.

And so do the math. it's been over 20 years.

98, I was 48. Yeah, and here we are on the path together. David and I, we got together.

I don't know how this happened. I hadn't seen you. You know, we've kind of ebbed and flowed out
