Teach, Learn, Share

"The goal of life is to match your heart beat to the beat of the universe, to match your nature to Nature" Joseph Campbell, author, The Hero with a Thousand Faces

"Our task is not to seek love, but to find the barriers we've built against it within" Rumi

“We’ve stopped to encounter each other
for a moment to meet, to love, to share.
This is a precious moment in Eternity.”
Paolo Coelho, The Alchemist

“... there’s a Dynamic good that is outside of any culture, that cannot be contained by any system of precepts, but has to be continually rediscovered as a culture evolves.” - "Lila: An Enquiry into Morals" by Robert M. Pirsig
