Closing address by Robbert:

Well, I guess we'll begin the wrap up.

Let's form up this leaves a little room for anyone else to pop in.

When we began this workshop I entered it with the notion that perhaps I would discover more about the Great Mother than I knew about already which wasn't a whole lot I don't mind confessing and I felt that we were entering this chamber of discovery or course of inquiry together, very much together.

You just can't have much happen unless there is some kind of a format and the workshop format seems to work well.

I never realized how well it could work online, still during the course of ones daily activities between these events, work goes on and we bring the results of this daily work with us to this event this is kind of a check-in point for us, all of us even though some of us appear to be guiding the event and others "Taking" or participating in the workshop- it takes all of us to pull it off.

It's like a hobo stew.

In the days of hobos, not homeless, but in the days of hobos the hobos would gather and bring whatever they happened to have or could get to put in the stew pot for the evening's meal.

So, here we are gathered around the burn barrel or campfire and we've just finished this meal and we've all told some stories or shared our experiences on the road or made a little music together what we bring here that undoubtedly contributes the most is our presence attention and necessity for this work that's what makes things happen.

If they "happen" at all.

The Great Mother touched down here it seems to me.

She at least revealed herself in part maybe entirely for those of us who could sense her.

I believe she came as close as we might like...This event is work for all of us.

We are co-workers.

We are in this together.

I view it as an obligation, a responsibility and I view it with both joy and trepidation.

I never know what is going to occur and this makes the machine a little jumpy.  We must try to bring others here if they need this.

We must become avenues for others like us to find this event and events like the auction.

If we can somehow find others who need this it is our job to expose them if they show any inclination.

The only game in town is the evolutionary game but not for ourselves.

We struggle with evolution in order to attempt to serve or because there isn't much other choice...Let's go around the circle and see what everyone has to say.....
