BOOK LIGHTS: from “Infinite Life: Seven Virtues for Living Well” by Robert Thurman

“Think of how infinite you can feel while staring at the ocean, marveling at how those waves have continued tumbling ceaselessly, churning forth life for billions of years.  Or consider the profound sense of connection with all life you gain from gazing up at a clear night sky in the wilderness, marveling at the inconceivable profusion of stars in the vast depths of space.”

from Infinite Life:
Seven Virtues for Living Well

by Robert Thurman

How do you experience ‘the profound sense of connection with all life’?  Robert Thurman offers a couple of ways.  I look at people and their pets.  How easy it is to love and accept those fluffballs of fur and to feel that they are the ones connecting to us!  We are all One.  Remember that the astronauts who viewed Planet Earth from space for the first time saw one blue planet.  We are One with Mother Earth as well as with each other.  Let’s love all of us!
