During the book signing portion of Deepak's bookstore appearance last night, he
graciously responded "Oh, yes !," when I extended Rick Archer's greeting, and
Rick's
written request on Yahoo Groups Fairfield Life stationery for Deepak to call
Rick. He also
gladly received the FFL questions from Ruth and the FFL extended messages
summaries
that several of you suggested would be good questions for Deepak.
Earlier in the evening he spoke of MMY in the most glowing terms, and mentioned
recent
writings on MMY are at deepakchopra.com.
BTW, Deepak is wearing the most incredibly fashionable eyewear. Relatively
thick black
frames, embedded with dozens and dozens of colorful stones (rubies and diamonds
??)
that flash brilliant ruby-red beams of light to the far reaches of the room.
