“It may seem absurd to believe that a “primitive” culture in the Himalaya has anything to teach our industrialized society. But our search for a future that works keeps spiraling back to an ancient connection between ourselves and the Earth, an interconnectedness that ancient cultures have never abandoned.”
“I used to assume that the direction of ‘progress’ was somehow inevitable, not to be questioned, I passively accepted a new road through the middle of the park, a steel-and-glass bank where a 200-year-old church had stood… and the fact that life seemed to get harder and faster with each day. I do not anymore. In Ladakh I have learned that there is more than one path into the future and I have had the privilege to witness another, saner, way of life—a pattern of existence based on the coevolution between human beings and the Earth.”

“Let sorrowful longing dwell in your heart. Never give up, never loss hope.
Allah says, ‘The broken ones are my beloved.’
Crush your heart. Be broken.”
Rabindranath Tagore
“Not hammer-strokes, but dance of the water, sings the pebbles into perfection.”
Tiffyn Cvejanovich and myself hashing out some thoughts
“god is within yourself and everyone else. The connection is strength. But, there are more connections outside of those you touch. Those external connections are and always will be stronger than you. Nothing can ever develop or change without a huge part of the web working together.”
