Question for Leonard

Post by Phil Rose »

If you met Leonard by chance in a coffee shop/cafe and had the chance to spend 15 minutes with him and could ask him just one question, what would you ask. My question would be; If you could spend one month of your life over again, what month/year would you choose?.

After the coffee shop/cafe had emptied and we felt free to talk, amongst many other one/s, mine would be [of course :wink: ] a quatre-part question ~ "In your heart of hearts [down past all evasiveness, and risk or fear of repetition], how do you want most to be remembered by those who knew you; those who loved you; those you loved; and those who never had the opportunities."

Oh, probably something like, "Leonard, can I get you anything?" or "What´s it like in the Order of Canada?" What the heck do I know? -- Whatever should occur to me at the moment, I´m sure.
Government of the people, by the people, and for the people? -- Must be Bolshevik propaganda!

Dear Bob,

Now of *all* people, I'd expect *you* to be a plan-ner ~ I'm the free spirit of us two, Bob. Best to think ahead on this one, as by the time you decide, may not be space left fer ya.....New York couldn't be much closer for us U.S.'ers.....if we're gonna go to any of them, this would be the one to take advantage of....hope to meet you there! Perla alone would merit attendance.

Hi Elizabeth,

You're probably right, but even I couldn't plan that far ahead. But, just in case, would I have to wear my beads and sandals?

Nooooo....just come as you are. Pay the fee now for failproof motivation and planning.

Is everyone going to that? Is Leonard going to be there? I want to go but I'm a tad afraid of flying all that way. Perhaps I should... As for questions for Leonard, once I'd done a bit of fainting and worshipping (I'm not mature enough yet not to act the fool when I meet any famous people, let alone my idol) I'd like to ask him I guess about what he believes in, which is the religion he feels speaks most valuably to humanity. I know he's involved himself with Judaism (not just in a hereditary sense, I mean his own interest and involvement in it which is well known) Scientology and Buddhism so would like to know which if any means most to him and which he feels can help others most. Then I'd faint again.

Nice of you to be so cogent between faints, with such a valid question. As for his being in New York at the 2004 event, I'd say highly unlikely....although Perla Batalla will be! It's worth your coming, and the perfect time to face your fears.

Course he will! I know it, like an incognito face in the crowd. Actually, perhaps that won't work........ :)

:lol: Ya reckon?!? :lol:

What an incredible reward it would be though, eh, for those who had the courage to confront their fear. And for those who came according to affordability and on principle [Leonard or no Leonard].

My question would be ' Do you as well sometimes think like the other people that you might be Jesus or not'

thanks
