Dear Ones,

Enclosed is a short paper that I wrote to give expression to some of my thoughts after I fell into the ditch in Africa. Waiting for a procedure to open my artery I had some thinking time.

I’m giving you this as I have another paper by another author to send you that more adequately expresses where I have travelled in my thinking to date. This has been a 20 year journey and I am a little more settled now than I was at the beginning  with Certificates and Sacrifices.

If you’re interested, I would like to hear from you. Nevertheless, I will pass on to you the other paper in a few weeks.

Love and Blessings

Tom Hallas.
