Hey Team,
Sorry I have not written in a while. Thinking of you guys, and gals, as I go about my daily business here in NY. When I run I especially think of you and all and the amazing things you do every day to keep the Torch moving and the flame of hope and aspiration alive in the hearts of all those fortunate enough to meet up with you. Keep up the great work. Sorry I cannot join you, especially around Chicago coming up soon. I am so busy with work here that I cannot get away even for a few days. I know how difficult it could be on the road every day, but also how fulfilling and uplifting it is to share the Torch of Harmony and Peace with hundreds of people, one day at a time. Your efforts are well appreciated here even if you do not get tons of messages expressing that sincere sentiment from most of the appreciative hearts here in NY and elsewhere. See you in a few weeks in Connecticut........
Your brother runner in Harmony,
Arpan

Just a GREAT BIG HELLO and super BIG THANK YOU! It is wonderful to see the spirit of America shining in the faces of all who hold the Torch! Your talent and capacity to do the media as well as the running and inspiring of all whom you meet is equally inspiring. Truely... A Oneness Family!
Thank You!
