Yet, I don’t have the words (imagine that!) to express how fortunate we are to be in the mere presence of a Dosa. This is the stuff we each have to stick our head through the mystical curtain of mystery to glimpse. So, we won’t go there now.
I thought to myself… if I absolutely had to, choose a single quality of IlCho Dosanim that I would want to highlight. What would that be? And of course, we go through the usual list: wisdom, compassion, knowledge, patience, etc. Yet, as much as all of these are true, today they won’t do. And so, I went on, sifting through and I think I found it.
So here it is, the single most impressive quality of Il-Cho Dosanim, for me….expressed in a single word… succinct.
Succinct.
Never have I met someone who can distill the esoteric and the complexities of our human condition in so few a word, and with such laser-sharp accuracy.
He makes the succinct eloquent.
A single word of his can unlock the shackles of a suffering heart.
A single word can cleave open a calloused one.

A single word can cleave open a calloused one.
A single word, can, and will…but only if truly heard
