It has been a blessing to tune into the bay-area Wednesday circle via live-stream every week, from San Diego.  Last week, Pavi shared a great quote around Einstein's Is the Universe Friendly? inquiry -- and the whole poem (by Shell Shilverstein) is so inspiring that I thought I'd share it here:  “I asked the Zebra, are you black with white stripes?  Or white with black stripes?  And the zebra asked me,  Are you good with bad habits? Or are you bad with good habits? Are you noisy with quiet times?  Or are you quiet with noisy times? Are you happy with some sad days? Or are you sad with some happy days? Are you neat with some sloppy ways? Or are you sloppy with some neat ways? And on and on and on and on and on and on he went.  I’ll never ask a zebra about stripes...again.”
