I love your thread metaphor,
The shift is occurring .. I can feel it everywhere..
It's from within .. within our hearts ..
I can see these opening one by one..
and here we are souls companions flying harmoniously as one flock of birds... one tribe !
Let the old world drift as our Love forges the new ONE.
One day Ananda, who had been thinking deeply about things for a while, turned to the Buddha and exclaimed:
"Lord, I've been thinking- spiritual friendship is at least half of the spiritual life!"
The Buddha replied: "Say not so, Ananda, say not so. Spiritual friendship is the whole of the spiritual life!"
Samyutta Nikaya, Verse 2
