The Beat Within

Volume 15.06

Here we are again, miraculously printing another issue of your writing. The miracle is not just that we have been able to keep this publication alive and thriving (from the strength of our original workshops in San Francisco to the nation's capital in Washington, D.C. and all the way across the Pacific Ocean in the nation's 50th state, Hawaii), but that we keep learning and growing from your words. That is a blessing we appreciate every day.
