We bring uniqueness to every situation. How can we cultivate intimacy within the sparkling, diamond-like differences among us? How can we live in reality seamlessly, without edges, without smoothing out differences or polishing edges so that they disappear? This is the work of a lifetime - and of this moment.

Lulled into complacency by the apparent repetition of our lives, our habitual passivity, or our feelings of accomplishment, we can end up more dead than alive. What better antidote than to recognize all we are receiving and to generously offer all we are in return?

If most of us want deeply to be in harmony with ourselves and our world, why does harmony feel so out of reach? Perhaps because to experience it requires us to commit to disharmony. By fully embracing this ever-changing world as it is, with its joys and pains, we enter the stream of being and truly find harmony.
