Dear KK-Berkeley Crew of Jan 17th,
Thank you for a wonderful time, serving together at Karma Kitchen. We all felt like old friends, although it was the first time we were all serving together!
As I reflect on the time back, I first think of the powerful couple minutes of silence that we shared at the end. Then, as we read random "blessings" that people had left behind, the beautiful tapestry of noble thoughts was clearly evident. And all of our 94 guests enjoyed that space because of Puri's reconnection with her Maitre-D groooove, Kye's unflappable equipoise while interfacing, (not-really-)shy-Chris truly being our "savior" (and photographer), Jassu seamlessly rolling from back to overcome her fears in the front, Sharanya's wowing us not just with her plating but her song, Bhoutik's joyous energy radiating well beyond the no-complaints bracelets that he gifted each of us, :) and Sundos's calming be-the-contentment peace that held so many pieces together. And then there were the was-this-really-your-first-time volunteers: Yvette's unstoppably radiant smile, Sam's infectious happiness, and Badri's dish-washing marathon (with a sprinters speed!). What fun! Thank you.
I use the phrase "thank you" ... but really, the joy of being collective instruments for such small and invisible moments of goodness ... is beyond words. Still, thank you. :)
