Krisna Das discussion

Dear All;
The KD documentary and discussion after was insightful. Krisna Das's melodious voice continues to waft through my mind.
I found the sharing about the American Bhakti from the 60's generation (my generation) poignant and ironic....Many in my generation, like KD, placed our hopes for enlightenment in the east, particularly India.
During the sharing I was reminded how people tend to appreciate the treasures of their native country after having left it. We take for granted and don't appreciate what was right in front of our nose.
When I was 12 years old I moved to Japan and then Thailand for a few years and developed a love of the East but also a deep appreciation for America. I wish that more American youths would go live in other parts of the world and remember what is good about this great, albeit imperfect country.

thanks for another fantastic retreat.
