I feel very blessed to have found this on RUclips. How wonderful (amid all the secular forms of admiration and adulation) to have reflections on the spirit/soul-full elements Leonard so mindfully and incorporated in his writing with such heart. I'm sure it was one of his deepest longings. Thank you Archbishop Bolen and Rabbi Parnes (and Steve, for the upload). Love to all!
