May you attain Nibbana!

Re: Farewell Blackbird!
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
May you fare well and persevere diligently along this noble path!
I know you're crazy busy preparing, but if by a slim chance you have time, could you write an essay on your journey towards ordination? I would love to post it to my Aspiring American Buddhist Monastics Support Group on facebook (link in signature). Doesn't have to be long at all. I think it would be of great inspiration to our members.
Ah, how I long for this day. It may never happen but I can always dream...
Good luck!
