In the Indian epic the Ramayana, Ram (God) says to Hanuman, “Who are you?” Hanuman replies, “When I think I am my body, I serve you. When I identify with my soul, I am a part of you. When I awaken to my True Nature, you and I are one.” This captures the essence of what the Sacred can awaken in us: a life-long calling to be in service and devotion to Love. It is through this service and through this devotion that we begin to realize we are not separate. Love is the very nature of our Being. It is who we are.

Loving Rock Training
Today I sit between two fundamental views: the world is deeply broken, and the world is fundamentally good. I crave a heart that has room for both. Either perspective alone limits the ability to engage in the Great Work: dedicating our actions, our lives, and the development of our characters to creating and tending to a world of Sacred Community.
