Being human is not easy for anyone (Carlos Santana)
Everyone has to deal with his or her own humanness. If we all could just tell ourselves, over and over, that the spark of the divine in us will triumph over our feet of clay - done. There'd be no need for gurus or guides. If only it were that easy.
What connection can there have been between many people in the innumerable histories of this world, who, from opposite sides of great gulfs, have, nevertheless, been very curiously brought together! Charles Dickens (in Bleak House )
