“My wish is that, one day, formal education will pay attention to the education of the heart, teaching love, compassion, justice, forgiveness, mindfulness, tolerance and peace. We must learn that humanity is one big family. We are all brothers and sisters: physically, mentally and emotionally. But we are still focusing far too much on our differences instead of our commonalities… Intolerance leads to hatred and division. Our children should grow up with the idea that dialogue, not violence, is the best and most practical way to solve conflicts. But this can become reality only if we educate, not just the brain, but also the heart.”

— Dalai Lama

Spellbound glow worm cave tour in waitomo, New Zealand 🇳🇿 It’s was a once in a life time experience to see the very impressive glowworm display. Any pictures taken will not do justice to such a breath taking spectacle. We had to let our eyes adapt to the darkness and we were rewarded with the soft glow of many of thousands of glowworms(technically maggots) There are enough glow worms to gently light up an entire cave and reveal all that the cave has to offer. Then we walked through a lovely succession of chambers to find speleothems, fossil remains of extinct moa(huge ostrich like bird extinct about 700 years ago)and cathedrals filled with natural light, softly falling to the floor. Even though some parts where in complete dark(not even the light from the glow worms) our guide Norm made sure we where safe and he was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly, there is a element of relaxation on the tour that made it even more enjoyable. 

Explore this world, live the life that you were made for.

“The best spiritual instruction is when you wake up in the morning and say, ‘I wonder what’s going to happen today.’ And then carry that kind of curiosity through your life.”
