What is the glue that binds everything together?

“Is it cliche to say ‘LOVE’? Perhaps. But it is the truth – Love is the glue that binds everything together. Love is gravity. Love is desire. Love is the connective force. As the Universe explodes and expands, it is this force of love that holds it together. As human beings, our unique experiences of love is our vessel into understanding the Universe – the basic glue, the basic pattern, and the basic purpose of it all. We must not proclaim to know beyond our means, but rather aspire to connect, to listen, and ultimately to allow the Universe’s basic truths to actualize through us, via the force of love that we are capable of experiencing.”

How will history describe the year 2020?

“More than anything, 2020 will be remembered as the year that ‘truth’ died. The pandemic, the social unrest, and the exacerbating climate are all sub-categories under the president and his wave of cult-like supporters in this country. With everything that has happened, the overarching theme is that ‘truth’ has been dampened and softened. It is no longer sacred.

Trump has normalized certain tactics to simply discredit truth, on no basis whatsoever, except for pure opinion. With enough support, this tactic works. There is no third-party “god” up there to pick who and what is right, so we are left talking to a wall and trying to move forward against a current of constant backlash. As previous dictators have done, Trump has illuminated a mechanical way of subduing truth that is now accessible to anyone who chooses to use it. This is the new normal, and we are well en route to the end of humankind as we know it.”

What is the greatest lesson to learn from heartbreak?

“You are lucky if you get your heart broken in your lifetime. I can not imagine a life spent without knowing the excruciating pain/beauty/depth of feeling that goes along with this ride. 
I’m in my mid 60’s, and I think I’ve felt true heart break twice. It tears you open in a visceral way you did not know existed. Your heart never really ever heals. You get better, but your heart is scarred for life. And hopefully you emerge a more compassionate and empathetic human.”
