One day, if you are lucky, you will have a chance to visit this place - they call it Ciudad de Dios - the City of God. If you believe there is a god, or even if you don't - this is what that spirit would look like among human beings.

The joy of watching the rununcla and beach rose and glads in full bloom is hard to explain in words. It's a feeling that raises the level of energy as the flowers just do what flowers are supposed to do.

Circles are our teacher - in them, we are reminded of the infinite, there is no coming and going, and that all things are interconnected.

And every generation believes they have confronted the most extreme that a world might produce - for good and no so good. But in this moment, it seems the thing that is different is that we really need to find a way to get better at being who we were meant to be – each one of us.

There is something awaiting our arrival to the next place and we have no idea what that something may be - heaven, hell, darkness, light - we can't really know.
