Awareness to me is an endless spiral, ever widening and expanding in an eternal way, drawing me forward.  I am in awe of all I am unaware of in me, in others, in the world. This fills my heart with wonder and invites curiosity. And so, I look at each of you and my patients and acknowledge all that I am unaware of about you and ponder all that you are unaware of about me. This is humbling and stirs in me an abiding interest in the deeper values of belonging and be-friending others to collaborate more meaningfully as human be-ings in an ever changing world. It motivates me to liberate myself and others  by relinquishing unjust power as it comes to me at the expense of others, in favor of a beloved community and a unitive world perspective.
