The American ideal is not that we all agree with each other, or even like each other, every minute of the day. It is rather that we will respect each other's rights, especially the right to be different, and that, at the end of the day, we will understand that we are one people, one country, and one community, and that our well-being is inextricably bound up with the well-being of each and every one of our fellow citizens. ~ C. Everett Koop, former US surgeon general

Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay attention to it. There is no substitute for the creative inspiration, knowledge, and stability that come from knowing how to contact your core of inner silence.

July 19 Photo Album

Two of the guests at our July gathering captured the event on film, and I used some of the photographs to create a video album.

Thank you, Madalina, and thank you, Hector, for your beautiful gifts of photography!
