Balancing our scales is the surest way to get the correct perspective on life.

When I was a little boy one of my treats was to go to the local candy store and get my penny bag of candy.
I looked around at all the fabulous glass jars on the shelves and the aroma of all the flavors sent me on a trip of delights.
I then had to choose which jar of candy I would like. Tough decision for a six year old with only one penny to spend (well, it was over fifty years ago).
Knowing ourselves and our communities, and seeing them in unison, is the first step in fostering the divine world spirit.
A wise Indian man once said to me, “Perfection is a rare and sporadic event.” For travelers especially, this rings true.
From a traveler’s perspective, every foreign country is a chance for something to go ridiculously, horribly amok.
“After spending all that time traveling half-way around the world, what have you learned?”
I lean back in my armchair and contemplate this important inquiry that I am so often confronted with since returning back home to the US after a long journey.
Trying to come up with a coherent response to this seemingly overwhelming and complex question, my head drifts back, eyes shut, and I think back to the past eight months on the road.
