    Wow. The connection of love and justice, individual and collective, inward and outward is beyond thought-provoking — it struck a deep chord in me. Thank you for your words and your presence — and for inspiring deeper thought, deeper listening, deeper and more just love!

    I have taken in a smattering of conversations at this summit, and I need to say thank you! Sometimes I tend to “gorge” on all the wonderful talks in such a summit. But after I took in this talk last night with Rev. Angel, I felt no need to gorge; the greed or sense of lack disappeared. All those hours Rev. Angel has spent on the cushion (and Kaleigh’s, too) can be felt in your conversation. I offer deep thanks to both of you for sharing your kind spirits with all of us, for offering your light and transformation. Deep thanks to you. I continue to contemplate that justice is what love looks like in public. Words to live by for as many lifetimes as it takes to experience a world so loving!

    Namasté, Rev. Angel KW! A resounding YES to the “Transformative Social Change”!!! I have been “drinking” your words throughout the conversation, listening deeply (by saying your words as you are speaking them!) Funny, this is something that happens to me sometimes spontaneously, without any conscious decision to do so… I just catch myself doing it and it’s really amazing; yes, the “3rd speaker” no longer interferes.Thank you for making it so explicit, it will now turn into a deliberate practice of deep listening! Heartfelt gratitude and blessings.

    I “can’t quite name it” either, and that’s a good thing at this moment. Rising light from sun outside and rising glow inside. Angel Kyodo Williams, your truths are palpable and I am full with thanks.
