Beautiful meditation. I love the metaphor of a wave being part of the ocean – as an unique and individual expression of the whole. I was waiting for you to come back with final comments before ending, as there were a few minutes of silence at the end, but perhaps left to us to bring it home. . Thank you, Stephen 🙏
