Your card on believing a thousand possible things gives my tired old heart a boost, suffering as it has since December 12, 2000--the day the US Supreme Ct stuck its nose into the national election process, aiding and abetting the pilfering of an election. I have some hope for the world, partly because of your poetic gifts.

I looked for you after the shindig, but you must've been whisked away as quickly as Bono himself. Anyway, your name is legion and your flame is eternal. One of the biggest thrills of my long, long career has been to watch you do what I myself could not: help the company find its conscience. You're truly an inspiration.<BR/><BR/>Scott: I think you called right as I was getting ready to go, y'know, hang out with Bono. Thanks for the good thoughts.<BR/><BR/>And Jen! I was going to send you a holiday card but couldn't find your address anywhere. So good to hear from you and I hope our paths cross this year. Congrats on the book.......Jasphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689449554756071995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36487206.post-77754632171080906122007-12-18T10:25:00.000-08:002007-12-18T10:25:00.000-08:00ohhhkaaay, i just have to say that this (Red) and ...ohhhkaaay, i just have to say that this (Red) and the visit with Bono! (oh my) marks the VERY FIRST TIME i've thought it'd be cool to work at HK (again) since i left in feb, 2002. working on that must change things...you know, you feel like you are really able to help the world in a super positive way WITH your greeting cards...(other than, of course, helping people to express themselves and connect...) xo to you! although i love my life, i miss my HK friends. (sigh) thanks for sharing!coloredsockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864420849686975448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36487206.post-38496776824524047132007-12-17T12:38:00.000-08:002007-12-17T12:38:00.000-08:00Hi Jim!

It was a serious test of my secret-keeping abilities. Your recap was perfect, and thank you for the shout out. I took the NextPressions binder with that very first Give=Live proposal to the meeting right before the Rice Center party, when we got to show Bono and the RED crew our product. They gave me a few minutes to tell the story of how RED came to be, so I gave an abbreviated version in which I managed to name drop the Collaboratory and have a little moment where Bono and I both raised our white-banded fists in ONE Campaign solidarity. It was seriously surreal. I've got the binder back, and somebody circled a paragraph in it, and I'm thinking since I gave it to Bono first, and he was indeed in possession of a pen, we should just assume the Collab is now the proud owner of a Bono-marked project binder. I'll be back in town on Thursday, and we should celebrate this addition to our library : )Sarah M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14583180746308256102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36487206.post-52823658280995427262007-12-17T09:27:00.000-08:002007-12-17T09:27:00.000-08:00Dear James, Glad to hear your on furlough, and sha...Dear James, Glad to hear your on furlough, and share your (Red) excitement. There's truth to the Holocost analogy you shared. The tendency for individuals to follow the group even when it is a blatant,horrible crime,has proven itself to be a failing all to common throughout the disasters of human history. Sufis understand this as a group ego,which can become such a monster that it requires great mastery not to succumb to its influence. I again applaud the effort which Hallmark can now represent. Asalam-a-leicum<BR/>Mevlana would not be dissapointed if you took time for a quick turn this day,a spin around the block. At the center of revolution there is a place that remains motionlessly elevated. <BR/>Have some wine and dance till you drop. Love to you and yours.
