It is with immense gratitude that I write to you on hearing the deeply saddening news of your recent passing. I want you to know that along with my profound feeling of grief comes the great restorative joy of remembering the immense kindness you showed me so many years ago when I first visited you after the loss of my life, as I knew it then, in Greece. The depth, the patience of your compassionate listening greatly helped me to awaken to the hope, the ability to create a new home from within. I remember when you went to Athens for a sports conference I believe. You made the incredibly generous gesture of visiting all the places that had been so very special to me. In doing so you reaffirmed so much of the love I thought had been lost with the collapse of my life there. Now dear Brian I know you will travel your Bright journey of Infinite Grace. KA
