When I was a little boy there were only two networks: NBC and CBS. Sixty years later we still have two networks. One is the interconnected digital network of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, e-mail, text messages, Web sites, books, magazines, recorded music, film, radio, television, smart phones and the Internet in general.
The other network is the interconnected personal network of mindful speech and active listening between two individuals augmented by the universal connection we all feel in silent mindfulness meditation when we know we are all truly one. It is not digital (except in the sense of holding hands).
I do not presume to know how either network works. I sure don't know what the rules are for participating in either network. Noticing the different characteristics of the two networks is interesting. It's all Indra’s Net.

Last night I heard a wonderful performance by Alicia Mathewson, a singer, educator and healer. She sings beautifully--and very spiritually.
