Because all of life is a seamless whole, our only real suffering comes when we try to separate ourselves from it, imagining that a line can be drawn to divide your sadness from my happiness, your poverty from my wealth, your country’s war from my nation’s peace, nature’s destruction from my health. Every moment of every day we have the opportunity to erase a boundary – with a smile or kind word, with the details of an artistic, simple life, with a loving thought for Mother Earth.
