I think (yes, Descartes was right) that when we begin to focus on finding that perfect essence within ourselves, we’re given a new set of senses (i.e., sight, hearing, speech, touch, etc.) to enable us connect and communicate with others.

And, because each of us now has a set of ‘new eyes’ to see and explore and a set of ‘new ears’ to hear, interpret and understand, each of us is given our own unique teachers, interpreters, and mentors who help us reach out and reach up to be the best of who we are and how to live our lives out loud.

Then, when we find our own voice and our own style that is only and uniquely ours, we are able to strengthen the cords (chords, eh Bob?) that help us connect the dots that make up the outline of our lives.

This is true communication — inspired, truth-FULL, communion with ourselves and within the greater community of life.

namaste!
