One week today

Thanks to all who in comments here at jack/zen honored life in reflections of the profound nature of our existence. I am so grateful to be a thread in such a rich fabric of thought leaders and sources of deep inspiration. It’s been quite a week since my near death experience. People who see me socially issue glib greetings of “How are you?” to which I have been consistently and very un-glibly replying, “Alive.” May we all get just that.

In the meantime, book 6 has emerged since, complete as draft, “Conscious Becoming.” Never did a book in a week, but never quite had the launch that this week has been.

This is one of the sections. Of course it will be weeks to birth revisions. Stay tuned.
….

The question
of what we have the potential
to become
is the question
of our potential
for consciousness.

We cannot make
any higher promise
to ourselves
or to each other than
to be conscious.
