today’s journey, the three month anniversary of my dying and coming back to life, is deeply rooted in the profound peace of the running wave flowing through us all as we journey  onward into an equanimity passing understanding and experience the harmony of relatives getting along tuned into a celestial harmony blending together the earthly tones of dissonance living the question of getting along, of reaching solidarity, of coming into agreement about co-existence…

The time has come to understand that we are the same human beings on this planet. Whether we want to or not, we must coexist.  ~ Dalai Lama ~

Tenzin Gyatso goes on to remind us…”We must learn that humanity is one big family. We are all brothers and sisters: physically, mentally and emotionally. But we are still focusing far too much on our differences instead of our commonalities. After all, every one of us is born the same way and dies the same way.” His Holiness sees the way to peace in this time of division thusly… “My wish is that, one day, formal education will pay attention to the education of the heart, teaching love, compassion, justice, forgiveness, mindfulness, tolerance and peace. This education is necessary, from kindergarten to secondary schools and universities. I mean social, emotional and ethical learning. We need a worldwide initiative for educating heart and mind in this modern age.”

yes, this epiphany of educating the heartmind came dramatically to me some 48 (the number for wisdom) years ago as an undergraduate compelling me to go to university administration to teach love and i wonder if that is what, at least in part, brought me miraculously back to life to fulfill soul’s deepest calling…

ah, so much to sleep on, to dream on…
