Thanks for adding me. The music tracks you've posted on your page are brilliant. Looking forward to listening to more of your music, including your collaboration with Simon Townshend.
"Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others."
Tony, so nice to hear from you! It was a wake-up call for me to drop in and see what new music you have. It's the time of the year when it seems that all I do is work and try to catch up with friends when I can on weekends...which tend to be busy as well with the great fall weather. I send you much love and happiness. Lynn

Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are.
My dear Friends! Thank you so much for your amazing and insightful comments and messages over the past few months! I hope you are ALL doing magnificently, living in the NOW right now, living in the Light. I am very happy to let you know that on August 17, 2009, I opened my solo Family Medicine clinic here in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, called Healing Waters Family Medicine. I find that an important thing I am having to do is get the old community-health-center-practice-model out of ME so I can realize my dreams here. At first, I was surprised how little the job had changed even though I was in a new and beautiful place. Slowly it has dawned on me that as I change myself, my clinic will change. As I let go of fear I find I that one can move at my own pace at work, take time to be with myself and with others throughout the day, time to really think about things, enjoy life. I think I can do this! At least I did it today! And most of the time this week!and I can do it everyday as long as I...well I guess as long as the bills don't exceed the money coming in. It is quite odd that at the time when I am realizing my dream to have the vehicle that I thought would be my part of "healing the world," I am letting go of my idea of healing the world! Maybe it does not need to be healed! Maybe it is really ok and doing all right as it is.
I am working a lot and every night I get pissed off when I am staying after 8 pm trying to figure out how to enter billing codes and struggling with my bad typing etc until late...but then I go home and I feel free, nothing hanging over my head. So I may not be able to write very often but I APPRECIATE EVERY ONE OF YOU GREATLY. You are in my heart and my thoughts. . Love, Haru
" Today we are in a new phase of humanity. We all are returning to our common house, the Earth: the people, the societies, the cultures and religions. Exchanging experiences and values, we enrich ourselves and we complete ourselves mutually (…)
(...) We go to laugh, to cry and to learn. To learn especially how to marry Heaven and Earth, namely, how to combine daily life with the surprising, the opaque immanence of the days with the radiant transcendence of the spirit, life at full freedom with death symbolized as to join the ancestors, the discrete happiness of this world with the great promise of eternity. And finally we will have discovered thousands of reasons to live more and better, all together, like a great family, in the same beautiful, generous and Common Village, the planet Earth. "
