"Probably the biggest
mistake anyone can make
when wishing for his or her voice
to be heard and respected is to ignore
the voices of everyone else."
--Aberjhani
This creative B&W with selective gold is about what it means to share our beautiful planet in the present 21st century moment. Co-existing means taking time to actually hear each other and respond in some positive way to what is heard, especially if the goal in question is an authentic personal relationship or something even more tricky like democracy. These are a few excerpts from writings related to the topic:
“Democracy is not simply a license to indulge individual whims and proclivities. It is also holding oneself accountable to some reasonable degree for the conditions of peace and chaos that impact the lives of those who inhabit one’s beloved extended community.”
― Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays
“Love is our most unifying and empowering common spiritual denominator. The more we ignore its potential to bring greater balance and deeper meaning to human existence, the more likely we are to continue to define history as one long inglorious record of man’s inhumanity to man.”
― Aberjhani, Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry
“The job facing American voters… in the days and years to come is to determine which hearts, minds and souls command those qualities best suited to unify a country rather than further divide it, to heal the wounds of a nation as opposed to aggravate its injuries, and to secure for the next generation a legacy of choices based on informed awareness rather than one of reactions based on unknowing fear.”
― Aberjhani, Illuminated Corners: Collected Essays and Articles Volume I.
“Diversity is an aspect of human existence that cannot be eradicated by terrorism or war or self-consuming hatred. It can only be conquered by recognizing and claiming the wealth of values it represents for all.”
― Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays

Thank you Danny and Sunil. The need to understand different points of view is probably more important now than ever.

I appreciate that very much Angeles. The words are, I think, particularly relevant at this point in history for a lot of countries & leaders.
