"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
- Albert Einstein
"Go on in doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword; show that reformation is more practicable by operation on the mind than on the body of man. Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy."
Thomas Jefferson

Amazing story! Thank you for taking the time to share it - i probably would not have seen it otherwise. i am currently reading Eckhar Tolle's Awakening to Your Life's Purpose and finding it so simple yet so elusive. Too much left brain! Trying to shift to the right and now more than ever.
