"I have to accept all parts of reality - that which I think I understand (and call good), and that which I don’t understand (and assume is bad)..."

[Richard Rohr @RichardRohrOFM]

To balance what I see as our overreliance on dualistic thinking, we have to find ways to practice thinking in a different way, where we can receive the moment as an open field. I call it the nondual or contemplative mind.

Incredible footage from a rescue boat captures a mother raccoon with her kits trapped on a pole amidst rising floodwaters. She takes a leap of faith to save them all.

Your self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-perception establish the foundation of all your relationships. The way you view yourself and the way you see life shapes how you see and relate to others. https://t.co/s0qraiezqr via @danreiland

"Spirituality is the ache for more: for connection, transcendence, meaning larger than what can be measured. Religion, at its best, is the wisdom gathered by people who have been following that ache for centuries." https://t.co/Lj1nivZ5V1
