Thank you for your thoughtful insights into Oneness. I will convey them to my mother as applicable.

: : : I'm wondering if there are healthy Ones out there who would be willing to share what their interests and passions are. This includes hobbies and the like, and on a deeper level, the themes that drive their lives.
: I forgot to go into themes. For myself, I guess I'd have to say "values."
: Did you ever play any of the Ultima games from Ultima IV on? They all
: revolve around a core set of virtues and principles. That fascinated me.
: The honor code of the samurai. The spirit of fair play. The duty of
: customer service. The responsibilities of political leadership. The
: placing of people before cars, before developers' profits, before
: architects' egos. Protecting the natural world -- I used to have to pass
: through Gary, Ind., to get to and from college, and I can't see how anyone
: can look at that place and not be instantly transformed into an
: environmentalist. There are so many things in the world that transmit the
: same message: "Something must be done." Which is what draws me to the
: Confucian aphorism: "To see what's right and not do it is cowardice."
