\nHow much of each us gets excluded when we constantly compare ourselves to one another, and to the expectations we're handed by our culture. And how much we exclude the gifts of others by the very same process. Is there a way we could give up inappropriate comparison and in so doing learn to include so much more everyone's talents and gifts, and the supportive ground of life itself?
\n
\nIn this conversation we talk about different kinds of learning, mischief, the attitudes we take that portray us as 'better than' or 'worse than' others, and what it is to deeply and gladly welcome the many kinds of difference and intelligence that are available in the world.

\nPeople ask me
\nwhy I am happy.
\nWhat can I say ?
\nI stopped trying to be
\nthe sharpest tool
\nin the shed.
\nOnce I gave that up,
\nI could rest in all this love.
\nRelaxed, I opened the door,
\nstepped out and discovered
\nthe whole bliss garden
\nI'd been missing.
