Dear Subud Brothers and Sisters,

Thank you for allowing me to use the Subud House for the recent Cascadia Poetry Festival. I have blogged about it here:

http://paulenelson.com/2014/05/09/cascadia-poets-get-a-taste-of-the-latihan/ and want to thank Ray Brown, Hadiyah Carlyle, Marston Gregory, Julia Hurd, Oswald and Rayma Norton and others for their support of this dream come true. It appears at least one person is considering getting opened in Subud. Wow!

Sincerely,

Paul Nelson

Yes, we are having a general meeting at the Seattle Subud house on Sunday May 18. Please plan to come and hear what’s going on. Lots of good things.  Please bring a potluck dish to share and the meeting will start around 12:30.

IF YOU’D BEEN THERE
