The adventure with my son in Glasgow’s drug world showed me how interconnected I was with a world I scarcely knew. It also brought home to me that when all else fails, there is still mindfulness - and it can work miracles. The story of Punk Palace has squalor, despair and alienation woven into it. Yet, I also found humor, goodness, and wonderful surprises. I provide a meditation for "Young People Who Are Lost", that I invite the reader to do. The Divinity we quest for is found in places such as Punk Palace. It is difficult to come home to our true nature without discovering, from firsthand experience, how interconnected we are with everything. If we can stop discriminating against others, we can know wholeness. This is a life experience, not an intellectual construct. |
