In its essence, our world is a wonderful place to be. It’s lively, pretty, and fun. Most of us want to be good and kind. We want our families to feel safe and at peace. We want to be happy and to feel helpful. Most of us value beauty, in all the many senses of the word. The bombardment of information that hammers at us may make us think differently about all this, but it doesn’t change the truth about the nature of humankind and the wonders of our yummy planet. In stillness we see this clearly. We imagine the infinite possibilities we might manifest. What a cornucopia of plenty there is to explore! What a feast! The world is good, and beautiful, and true.
