We meditate... to get to know ourselves... to become intimate... with who we really are. each of us as a longing... for what we sense... is important.

It's a process... of getting suttler and suttler and then simply thinking...

... knowledge of ourselves... of recognising... on deeper... and deeper levels... the loving awarness... the presence... that is always there... no matter what else is going on in your life.

How that happened?

Why do mean how that happened?

Some people actually think that I'm qualified!

I didn't mean to intend you're unqualified...

I mean we'll have to move to New York!

We?

Well, if... if I take the post if they offer it to me!

I... I have a job here.

A job I love.

It probably pays more that a museum... position.

So um... you're saying that... if I was named... the director... of the Withney...

You wouldn't move to New-York?

I have to think about it. and I like my life here.

Wow!
