About Today’s Show
I read this morning in The Week that 8 out 10 people won’t turn off their cell phones even during sex. At first, you might think this is very neurotic. But it struck me that so many of us are very hungry to connect with each other. On some level, technology is giving us a much more potent way to do that, and people in general just can’t seem to get enough of it! Note to investors: anything that helps people connect with each other is a good bet.I believe that we are truly are connected, on the spiritual level of things. Yet one of life’s many games is pretending how separate we are. My friend Shaina Noll sings a song by Susan McCullen, You Can Relax Now that shares this message so beautifully:
You had a dreamYou misunderstoodYou thought we were separateBut now you hear my voice andYou can relax nowC’mon and open your eyesAnd breathe deeply nowI am with you.
There are sayings that have been around a long time, like “You hurt the ones you love the most.” What does that really mean? What if it meant that those closest to us are willing to bear witness to our explorations of self? What if we are as deeply connected to our enemies as we are to our loved ones, what does that say about the prospects for peace?On the other hand, what if all the “superficial” sharing on MySpace and YouTube is really a joyful reawakening of our unity?Hawaiian words HoÊ»omanaÊ»o: rememberPili Ê»ana: connectionBe in Touch!
