Interconnectedness

I recently completed training the More To Life Weekend http://www.moretolife.org/ in Knoxville, Tennessee. Nineteen lovely souls participated, and twenty-six students of that program served them during the weekend.

At the end of the experience, I played Soon Love Soon by Vienna Teng. We were all gathered, having worked courageously, to heal the war that rages within. We stood and sat, listening with mind and heart, saying goodbye to this time we had shared, and serendipitously, a father rose from his seat to hold his infant son who had just joined us. Inseparable from the music and the words was this visual of father and son, and in that moment, we saw the song and ourselves.

We are undeniably connected, and when we see it, hear it, open our hearts, every child is welcome and wanted.
