As we listen with our hearts, so should we listen with our whole bodies. Bringing out bodies and minds back together to live as one. This is where we will find compassion and love and all of ouractionscan then com from this wellspring. My mom is 98 years old and sometimes it really tries my patience to be with her and take care of her, and then I remember that for almost 99 years she has been walking this earth and spent many, many years caring for me. Although our relationship wasn't perfect, I knew that she always has loved me and her actions came from a loving heart. This, in turn, floods my heart with love and compassion and taking care of her is done with ease and love.

Oh - I have had this feeling/sensation as well when I connect with nature! I fell part of the soil and part of the sky and wind as well. It is the phenomena that Thich Nhat Hanh calls "inter-being."
