So MUCH love!!! Thank you for sharing this. And amen!!!! Just this very morning as I was doing my devotional practice, I was receiving this message from multiple places, and I realized in that instant I needed to purposefully and intentionally focus on balance right now. XO

Wonderful! Just finished reading Parker's, "On the Brink of Everything." Salve for the soul : ) Yes, we have to pace ourselves, and as Valarie Kaur, teacher and activist for radical love, guides: "breathe, and push." Glad to be in this with each and everyone of you reading Manuel's posts!

I appreciate the wisdom from both Parker Palmer and Thomas Merton. To pause, to breathe in, to look for intrusions of beauty - these are the tools that will energize the activist. Thank you for this post, Manuel.

Solid article as always. Currently traveling through Europe and the most asked question was what is going on in America? You use to be stable.

Thanks for your comment, Scott and happy travels in Europe. Would love to read of the European's feedback on our opera.
