Reading the sutras deep into the night,

I look up at the dark night sky,

Listen, all alone, to the cry

of the distant sea-

The 1,000 sutras, the 10,000 treatises,

all just waves blown in the wind.

~Cho Oh-Hyun

there is only one……and how much do we deny our interconnectedness?

inquiry for today~   what inspires freedom in a moment? who finds you there? who lifts you up?

where we passed each other by

The world is getting too small for both an Us and a Them.

Us and Them have become codependent, intertwined,

fixed to one another. We have no separate

fates, but are bound together in one.

And our fear of one another is the only thing

capable of our undoing.

~Sam Killerman
