Views is an eclectic blog–because the blogger is an eclectic person. Sure, I could write about only one thing or another and maybe that would make feeds or searches work better–but then what are filters or categories for? I am a writer, a lapsed lawyer, a former government employee, a father of two and a 30+ year (in this lifetime) Bodhisattva of the Earth. I am the author of Waiting for Westmoreland. I’m also a happy man and a funny guy (strange/weird my wife says).

Hello Jack,
The ad link on gmail led me here. I have no idea why I clicked on the Waiting for Westmoreland link– perhaps an always present just under the radar interest in history.
To my surprise the link appeared the mining of Buddhism as a keyword in my mail. Then I suspect you are an SGI member by the language just to describe the book and confirm that see information on the blog.
May I be an early fellow member to welcome you and your family to NM?? Welcome!
I live and practice in Albuquerque and the area you have selected is quite charming. I haven’t visited in quite q few years so I’ll guess it has only become more attractive as a small yet interesting community with some decided amenities.
Please become a pioneer in the area. Occasionally members have appeared in Silver City but not found anyone else there to practice with. Time for that to change!! Again welcome to New Mexico. The more Bodhisattvas the better!

Thank you Marilyn. Say hello to Barbara Jordan if you know her. We will definitely make this a bustling hub of kosen-rufu in the not-too-distant future.

I found you too by a gmail link- congratulations! I was drawn to it because of the line- turning karma into mission. This is my goal as I make a short film about my practice and relationship experience. I’m in NY but showed your link to a fellow member in LA. She saw your book on myspace and thought it was by a temple member. So I shared with her your dedication to our mentor- Daisaku Ikeda. Thank you for becoming a great leaders in your quest for happiness and peace. I will buy your book- for full price even!
