So that’s it then. My new career as a ghostwriter and new age marketing specialist has been launched.

Ok, don’t get mad lawyer boys, because of proximity and familiarity I’ve contacted Tyler about drawing up a contract for Joseph and I. We’ve reached an agreement and I am heading to Kirksville on Thursday for our first face-to-face meeting. I will be killing two birds with one stone by arriving just in time for Bob’s 50th birthday party.

I gave two test drives in the car today, so we hope that sells soon.

Joseph and I had a long talk today about all things new age and I think we’re on similar pages if not the same page. How would I describe that page? Open-minded pragmatists who are suspicious of all things ego derived when it comes to healing. I will maintain professional distance and set appropriate boundaries, but I must admit that I like him. I tried to get away from this project actually, had decided against it, but the universe apparently had other plans. There are more things in heaven and in earth then are dreamt of in my (work) philosophy.

I think my former employer has a good heart, but if anyone was ever caught up in ego he would be the poster child. I may have said this before, but as I see it some people come to “healing arts” through a pseudo martial arts paradigm where everything is “levels” – brown belt, yellow belt, etc. I have said this before. Anyway, good luck HAC, you’ll need it. I am apparently now on to other things.

How did you get involved with this Joseph character anyway? Neil Delmonico is a Sanskrit scholar and friend, a one time drinking buddy, he directed Joseph in my direction. I asserted, somewhat fallaciously, in the weekly announcements of my former job that I was leaving the HAC to write professionally. Apparently I wasn’t wrong. Thank you HAC folks for all your well wishing. Thought forms to the rescue.
