Season 2 – Episode #34 – The Day After…

The day after… The day after supreme happiness, the day after complete chaos, the day after everything changes in our lives… In the heat of the moment we gain the ability to connect, to see each other, to reach out to one another, to extend our love towards people around us and practice inclusion for all people, but, as in many aspects of our lives, we end up losing this new gained power in the face of habit. And division settles…

In today’s talk about resilience, we look back twenty years ago at the events of September eleventh and reevaluate our path and the choices that led us apart…

Quotes:

“The terrorists didn’t divide us, we started the division”.

“ I believe if you’ve had something and you lose it, you can find it again…we can find a way to come together again.”

“I think the last 20 years has been our mud and muck and we can come together and blossom beautifully.”

“We can send a beautiful ripple that can elevate everyone, not just some of us, create a system that works for all of us, not just a few who built it for a few.”

“The people that paddle fear and divisiveness and scarcity, they’ve had the keys to the castle long enough…”
