Sigri, I have been underestimating the logistical requirements of our organization, I think.

0:11.8

Over the past months, it's become clearer that the further our message spreads, the more

0:17.2

systems we must put in place for containing it. Ideas spread easily, but they do not easily

0:24.3

maintain their purity. They distort and mutate if you don't keep a close eye on them.

0:54.8

Even if an idea stays in the mind of one person, you cannot be sure that it won't change

1:00.6

while it's there, morph into something alien or strange. It has been encouraging, as I've

and you cannot have them, I miss the dinner blessings of the La Palma family,

2:27.4

and I hope they still lift my name before each meal. I miss Rose Simmurales' rugged

2:34.1

practicality. She taught me how to clean a rifle and to conserve water in the hide desert,

2:40.6

something I never had to think much about in our home. And of course, Sigrid, I miss you.

2:48.0

I have so many homes now in so many places, and it is worse than that. For while, some may have more

2:59.8

than one home, for most, that is all it is. But for me, all of these homes are my responsibility.
