My most recent article (minutes ago, really) relates strongly to this idea of purpose replacing tohobohu. As I explore happiness, contentment, and human need, I talked today about community by means of resonance. An adjacent conversation.

I always appreciate you, David, and this is a vital conversation you've started here.

Intentional human language builds up. The alternative is entropy. The rest of the universe is mostly in that state. We have a singular opportunity here.

“We have a singular opportunity.” Poignant insight, Scott.

Believing that every day is a fresh start. That's radical!

I went to Tohubohu once and stayed in a Days Inn.

This resonates so deeply David! After a month of deep immersion in yoga & ayurveda in Asia, I devoted myself to writing 1 page of Soul Sanctuary/day.

Today's passage (from the July chapter entitled Resilience Is A Team Sport) is:

Being witnessed is a form of being seen, heard & understood that resonates at the deepest core of our existence. It is possibly the most healing elixir of this lived experience. For within the tenderness of the embrace felt here is a universal language spoken at the level of the soul. ♾️🙏

"It is possibly the most healing elixir of this lived experience." Beautiful insight, Alivyana.
