I often think of us as lanterns.
The old-fashioned kind — the kind with a single flame at the center, surrounded by glass shutters or filters. Each of us holds the same divine spark inside. The light itself — the source — is identical for all of us. But what makes us appear so different is the unique structure surrounding that light.

In these exceptionally challenging times, it seems nothing can be taken for granted and there is a sense of a relentless kind of erosion of our stability and sanity.

I want to share with you the one thing which has really helped keep me grounded, centred and clear in these uncertain times…

The choice between being reactive and responsive.
