Fook – greetings – greetings - greetings

Well – what could I say except: love has no reason, love is reason. I'm here in Missouri now, after a varied hitch hike.

Got a ride all the way to Iowa with Gregory’s friend Tom, then a couple more rides to Kansas City. Stayed the night with a friend there and spent the next day getting here. In the process had my best friend and constant travelling companion, my sleeping back (sic) stolen, a few other things missing. So it goes for hitchhiking sometimes. However the new found happenings “of Fook” is spreading the Light already here. Rain come after a few short concentrated thoughts around Lucky Rain Cards. Could it mere chance at work – perhaps it’s something much more. Yes, it is. I feel a stronger and stronger connection of our two energies growing every day, growing every day. One which will structurally transform the present negative aspects and show the correct way of going about social reorganization. Yet I feel our energies to be mutually reinforcing and a symbol of great sovereignty and duration. I am in hopes that our relationships and actual positions of doing become clearer and clearer.

Walter – there was a letter here waiting my return which was from the small family in New York. It seems the flow and the word is that we are in the process of building scucral (sic) new Temples, Knowing it would be perfect to help, look and receive may new ideas, everything seems to be flowing A place to be All together –

Here in Missouri I've already called a couple of friends who have nice contacts in Oregon, California, New Mexico & mentioned that somethings up in the air and I might be visiting soon – etc. etc. They would [be] very happy to hear from me – us. I have the use of a rented truck, van or car here for a desert trip or whatever – of which I would be happy to be a small part, as driver, guide, etc, etc, etc. etc. So FOOK, I'm going to hold off on all other commitments and financial work until I hear from you. So please write me bac soon because I would like to know where it’s all at between us and this new trip. Hope all is well with you and happiness I am

LOVE GOOB OOB
