Weekly Pause & Ponder

We are reaching a fork in the road; two paths are diverging on planet Earth and the one we choose will make all the difference for the life of the planet.  Shall we continue our practices... and undergo extinction?  Or shall we wake up to this dynamic, evolutionary universe and the rise of consciousness toward an integral wholeness?

Weekly Pause & Ponder

This Saturday, September 21st marks the International day of peace. Today we remember the words of Nelson Mandela,

No one is born hating another person because of the color of their skin or his background, or religion.  People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

-Nelson Mandela
