Yes, just thinking of Douglas makes my heart glow. I met him when he was already 97 years and his health was weak. Yet he made me feel like I was his lost son and insisted that the pleasure was all his when I said goodbye.

By the way, many people who were close to Douglas and who continue his work gather every july in Salisbury (UK). For example Richard Lang and Douglas' wife Catherine. Everyone is welcome there and it's like a big celebration with all high-awareness people who 'get it'. I've been there the last three times and came back reinvigorated every time. If you like to get a taste of the Headless way and people, I can really recommend going.
