It is the same driving and walking and being, if u r about to get mad at someone stop and think to yourself What if that was your brother or sister or Mom or Dad in that car, would you want someone to be so mean to them? We are all in this life together, and the more we really live with that consciousness, the better Everyone's life will be .....it is all so tender and delicate and over any second, breathing is one second to the next, ouch !Check out Steeleye Span's summer concert site for SpanFest 2007www.spanfest.com
