:- Doug.
Her name is Sarah. We meet on the beach of an island in a wide and gentle stretch of a large river. She has been waiting for me and takes me by the arm up a path to a place where we sit on logs and talk. She is my granddaughter. She is grandmother to some she can name and many neither of us will hold in our arms. She is alive in a time when I have faded from memory, 300 years from now.
:- Doug.
I’m still trying to describe and define the course. Instead, do the course. It will do the rest.
:- Doug.
If you have come to this course for what you can get, get out. I say in all kindness get out as fast as you can. You will get nothing for it. Indeed it will cost you much, perhaps everything. Ideally everything.
:- Doug.
