What Is This Journey We Call Life. . .

Oh the philosophers and gurus, the motivational speakers and wise friends who have told us this life we live is a journey. What does that mean? Life is a journey . . .

Who would have thunk it? Einstein and Buddha coming to the same point in this beautiful spectrum we call life. An example of balance which is that not what is one aspect of life?

I saw the movie "What the 'Bleep' Do We Know" about a year ago. I would have never believed Quantum Physics could be so inspiring. Buddha and Einstein, what a conversation they could have. In some plan that is taking place right now. No, really! Didn't Steve Martin write a play . . No, that was "Einstein and Picasso," topic for another time.

In the quiet of a Sunday morning I recommend this quick and simple book of parallel universes as one. On Wholeness and Interdependency the scientist and spiritual master make one ponder.

"If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this. . . universe into parts - physics, biology, geology astronomy, psychology and so on - remember that nature does not know it! So let us put it all back together, not forgetting ultimately what it is for. Let it give us one more final pleasure: drink it and forget it all!"
