Here is the full hypothesis:
by encouraging investigation of the nature of well-being and the nature of the best experiences of life,
by encouraging discussion of the times when we do not enjoy being alive in order to determine how to avoid or improve these situations,
by encouraging each individual to be a personal, cultural, and political activist for the considered amelioration of her or his own experience, which it is hypothesized will involve the improvement of the experiences of others,
we can improve our situation.

I am just now starting my hwork for this weekend

Mollie did not find her swahili book.

It's funny how much I love gordon, well, I guess that's what it is. It's not that I need or want to talk to him. Though I guess I do sometimes. I defninitely did last night. "Could you come downstairs before you go, sorry to act so strangely, I just wanted to talk to you alone." Him perched on the stool. It's all nice I guess, though it is a sort of funny feeling. With rebecca I can have every kind of closeness but not so much with him. But maybe I miss what Rebecca thinks. I hope she's well. I love her.

So, this last weekend, two things I have thought of for a long time have occurred, very close to lovingly and beautifully. Sexual intercourse, with a condom, and a gathering of people at this house for a dinner, to talk. The first was beautiful, though almost felt like nothing, but what was felt so beautifully was the absence of desire. Sounds like that would be a nothing feeling, but it is really very nice. I wonder how rob is doing.

The second, is interesting. in order to get a few people, must invite very many, but these came, first the ones living in my house or invited by others-
Emily, joachim, Randall, Eric, ilona,
then
Rebecca, Lise J, Gordon, Mollie and two-year-old Chloe, Angela. I think there is a potential for more. Well, there is. We'll see what happens March 1.

This is a tiring business. So many people, Though, this is necessary and so much what I want. I think it is like talking for a long time. It can be good to do but it takes some practice to not be tired afterward. I was surprised how long a time it is from 6-10.

Lise is very amazing, she is doing, she is something powerful, gordon noted too, but I am tired now, and don't know what to make of it. I do want to see her again soon.

That's it. A Date preserved. In a way.
I wonder how NEW funds itself.
I got to tell the whole history to angela. Needs to be written up and on web page.

It is so amazing to watch things that were long ago only imaginings and ideas to come to be filled in with real experiences I could not have imagined. Like the dinner here last night. like loving Rebecca.

So long ago I imagined having people come together, having a place to invite, that is why I moved into this house.

Only after rebecca went to Barash house for dinner did I begin to want this agin and it is a good time, the first of the month, and the first of this week, this was only an idea, and here it is, has happend, is now, is happening.

love, Colin. I cannot wait to get the Journal done. And send a copy to Kyle and Mobrien andso many others. Mrs. Obrien live, please.

Rebecca.
