we are traveling, so my post this week will be brief. it's nice to get away from home and to see new sights, to learn about other areas of the country, and to experience life in a different locale. as always when we travel, we find that the people we encounter are very much like us, with many of the same problems, longings, and hopes for their own lives and for those they love. this makes us aware of the common humanity of us all and takes us away from a world of "i" and "mine" to a perspective of "we" and "ours." it is this shared humanity that will be the subject of my thoughts over the next several days and the theme about which i will write in the near future.
may we look to how much we are alike and the strengths and frailties we all share. may we see that compassion for ourselves and others are much the same thing. may we be filled with love for all sentient beings. shalom.
