Even here, in the silence of this room, I am not alone. This silence is alive with the unfolding of other lives and with the turning and movement of the Earth. I began to sense my connection to the world’s pain and my part in healing it. I realized that my transformation of pain into love was an act of service for human kind. By embracing my existence, I could bring courage to others to face their own pain and to acknowledge what it had to teach them.
