After all, we're just walking each other home." (quote from Ram Dass) We're all going to the same place, and we're all on a path. Sometimes our paths converge. Sometimes they separate, and we can hardly see each other, much less hear each other. But on the good days, we're walking on the same path, close together, and we're walking each other home.

We are a part of incredible vast whole, which is a part of an even greater beyond whole. Being born and dying is an infinitesimal part of this whole.

"If your everyday practice is to open to all your emotions, to all the people you meet, to all the situations you encounter, without closing down, trusting that you can do that — then that will take you as far as you can go. And then you'll understand all the teachings that anyone has ever taught." Pema Chodron
