Knowing that words can create happiness or suffering, I vow to learn to speak truthfully, with words that inspire self-confidence, joy, and hope. I am determined not to spread news that I do not know to be certain and not to criticize or condemn things of which I am not sure. I will refrain from uttering words that can cause division or discord, or that can cause the family or the community to break. I will make all efforts to reconcile and resolve all conflicts, however small." <BR/>Reading your blog of your first encounter with David, sharing from afar, and being witness to connections unfolding, I am reminded of the power of communion and interconnectedness. <BR/> I am reminded of our highest potential, the gift and responsibility of being a conscious and aware human being. Fascinating and beautiful interconnections, when sustained with intact integrity and impeccable honesty, for self, life and others, can only bear the fruit of beauty, truth and grace.<BR/>For indeed, "What greater gift can WE offer to another than intentionality, consequentiality, and meaning?"<BR/>May it be so. In beauty, truth and grace, AshaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818030843086946391noreply@blogger.com
