When we bring what is within us out into the world, miracles happen. 
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
    — Dhammapada, 1.1-3

We are at odds with ourselves internally; we believe that the inner is fundamentally different than the outer, that what is me is quite separate from the not-me, that divisions among people and nations are necessary, and yet we wonder why there are tensions, conflicts, wars in the world. The conflicts begin with the minds that believe in fragmentation and are ignorant of wholeness.

Check out our first club outing to Cowles Mountain in Santee, CA.  We arrived by 5:45am so we could catch the sunrise at the top and get in a morning meditation.  Simply amazing!
