  14. Hi Chris: I’m an Aussie who attended your CAPA workshops twice in Vancouver – many years apart – and I love your poetic vision and life philosophy which inspire me. As I am also a musician, I feel that “music” could be added after “words” in your description of artistic expression. Merry Christmas!
