sarcastic, but only Joe Frank knows. Joe led me to Jack's work and I listen
to both guys.
I heard Jack Kornfield speak a few times at Spirit Rock in Marin County
where I believe you can still catch him occasionally. That place is
ridiculous in its beauty. Next time I go I will ask him about Joe Frank. Or
probably not, what's the point?
It was equally inspiring to finally see Joe perform a couple of years ago.
Jack and Joe are the only "spoken word" performers I listen to. But I am
open to suggestions!
