I am David, soon to be retired from a large university system where I’ve overseen capital construction. I’m also caretaker for my wife who developed cognitive impairments last summer after successful treatment of bone cancer. Soon we will be leaving the NYC area for warmer climes and more opportunity for study, writing and painting. I’ve had a contemplative practice for three years that is the core of my spiritual life. I’m really looking forward to diving into MOTT, which I did not know at all previously.
