“Awakening isn’t snobbish about where and when it reveals itself, so we probably shouldn’t be, either.”

~ Joan Sutherland

no one has a lock on this great mystery. and if they say they do, they are likely still swimming in the sea of delusion.  but it seems to me that those who are aware of our interdependence and who choose to dive into the mystery, seek wisdom and keep their hearts open, engaging this sacred life with empathy and tenderness, choosing to meet circumstances and people with warmth, kindness and compassion, are closer to the truth than any of us who choose greed and aggression, who attempt to solve problems with violence, choosing violence even as such actions cause incredible harm and destruction, solving nothing.

may hearts open, may wisdom arise, and may awakening spring forth!
