I had the honor of meeting Simeon in 2011 when he went to China for his first tour there. It didn't occur to me back then just how much of an illuminated individual he was, and how profound the effect was to experience the natural kindness he embodied through his words and the way he interacts with others. I'm very grateful for the time and knowledge he shared with us. See you soon, Simeon.
