GUEST BELI-BLOGGER BRAD BUIKEMA: Reverence

Hello Folks. I am one of Mikal's long-time friends living in Boulder, Colorado. Mikal has asked me to create a posting for Wednesday. This will be short, but hopefully sweet, and hopefully an appropriate comment regarding today's speech by Koffi Annan at the U.N.

Reverence. This is the concept I wish our leaders would take into account when facing the challenges laid before the U.N.

'Without reverence the experience of being unempowered can become a very cruel one because a disempowered person is a frightened person, and if a frightened person has no sense of reverence, he or she will harm or kill indiscriminately." -The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav.

Short Post, but sweet! "The Seat of The Soul" changed my life. It verified all that I thought and didn't know. Great Quote!

Good Job!

Welcome aboard! You've chosen a very revealing quote. Archbishop Desmond Tutu said something very similar to me a number of years ago - I will never forget his short stature, the genuine compassion in his face and body, and his engaging sense of humor.
