Project Second Chance

It was interesting to read a recent report in CNN about how juvenile criminals are being treated by having them care for dogs.

"A connection with a being helps them develop empathy", said the person in charge of running the program.

Truer words could not be said.

We are all beings, all conscious.

In each of our interactions, let us interact from our being to the being of the person we are interacting with. And not with our minds - constantly judging, comparing, commenting - but instead whole heartedly, with complete oneness.

Let us pay attention not only to the speech, but to the speaker as well - the beingness of the person who is talking.

And let us listen with our being.

This interaction increases our own sense of being, our connectedness to the whole, and does the same for the person we are interacting with.
