    Excellent interview. What a wonderful teacher, I suspect his students love him like you can see with Jessica. The documentary should be great.

    I'm pretty sure the books that Moni speaks of at 37min-ish are "Siddartha" by Herman Hesse and "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coehlo.

    Good to see the crazy eyed humor between you both. Using a movie reference he's comparable to a Jedi Master. But the Force always compels one to Grow and learn, also to overcome and adapt. With that in mind would like to see a state of normal existence return asap, where ideas formed under lockdown, are realised. The benefits of suspended activity may be a time of enlightenment once work begins again. New ways of approaching an issue that were out of reach before. The infrastructure to start immediately is in place Jessica. Your former Jedi Master and you, look fit and ready for any challenges ahead. Well done with keeping it real and flowing For your interest when you posted a while back about the pooch studying music at Julie's Yard, it took a while to Realise you meant Juilliard 😉...... Cool Jessica Stay Well and Moving Forward
