In 1977, Landon Carter, Neil Mahoney, Levy Swindell and I made a presentation regarding the peaceful desegregation of the Cleveland, Ohio public schools in the board room of the Cleveland Trust Company, now Key Bank, to it’s Chairman and other senior staff of the bank. Landon Carter was an EST trainer, Neil Mahoney a former member of the Boston “Checkers” gang and Levy was a kid from the Barrio in San Francisco who had turned his life around brilliantly at age 18.
During the conversation, the Chairman asked Levy what made him believe that kids in the inner city would be able to grasp the training we were proposing?
Levy responded simply by asking the Chairman, “what makes you think those young people want anything different from what you want in life?”

Some years ago, I saw an ant; its tiny body scurrying across the hot cement. I wondered to myself, do ants feet get hot? The more I experience in life, the less I realize I really know. We live in such a vast universe. How does the ant feel when it is far up a tree? Perhaps just as we might if we climbed Mount Everest? So many questions. But it’s not just about ants, it’s about life.
What will you explore this week from the space of loving-kindness, listening and curiosity?
