I wanted to add a short message of appreciation to those many others
who have already expressed their deep regard for Russ. In my case it
was his ongoing encouragement to write; initially three articles for
The Integral Leadership Review and then later to sign a book contract
with him. I was delighted to complete the articles but I still,
haven’t completed the book. Russ could see more than I could and
when he couldn’t he just stayed open to what might arise. I knew he
wasn’t well and was later greatly saddened to hear of his death. May
he rest in peace.
