Would it be cheating if we could magically erase all "fences" .. real or imagined .. wouldn't that be a treat! One day, Cynthia, love and compassion will triumph and all barriers will naturally dissipate into oblivion ... One day. In the meantime .. I am always thankful to see your comments. Thank you for reading. Mahalo et Merci, Bill

Bill, your thoughts always give me pause and I find encouragement and camaraderie, from one unknown and so far away. Every caring, love-heavy word, action or thought puts healing energy "out there," and I think connects those who strive for a better world. The better may be as simple as a smile that lifts a stranger's heart for a few seconds, or the work of those, like Roshi Joan Halifax of Upaya in Santa Fe, who travel to one of the remotest places on earth to offer medical care to those who have none. There's a wide range of healing and loving happening - Including your blog. "Keep the faith, Baby." !
