It seems like only yesterday we were entering a new century yet here we are past the decade mark in it. The older I get the more interested I become in those basic elements that make life special. What’s interesting is that what makes these special is that they’re so common and accessible that we tend to ignore them.
The seed for this podcast was planted by something the Dali Lama said in response to comments regarding what a wretched state the world is in. He replied that this was only the case if one mistakenly views the news as reflecting the norm. Once you realize that what makes something news is that it’s an exception, then it’s easier to keep what’s going on in its proper perspective. His comments got me thinking yet again about the role choice plays in how we perceive the world around us.
And naturally that led me to ponder what choices we might choose for the new year that would benefit our animals as well as ourselves.
