“We need to rediscover the link between knowledge and love, a penetrating vision of wisdom by which one knows in a way more deeply than the mind alone can grasp. Knowledge is to deepen our participation in the whole, not to control it. When we are unconscious of our connectedness to the world of things, we cannot be intelligently related to them. We know objects as data not as mirrors of reflection.”

Happy new year, my friends!
After the pristine blue (lake) and snowy mountains of Tahoe for Christmas with family, I spent a restful New Year’s weekend in Sausalito with a deck gazing out at the Bay. The breathtaking full moon lit up the water with a heavenly glow (pictured below), an inspiring way to begin what I hope will be a fresh year of change and impact for all of us.
