The Music of Strangers movie featuring Yo Yo Ma really touches the soul. He, and his fellow Silk Road musicains continually ask such questions as: Why are we here or how can we be of the most compassionate value to others and the earth? I walk with these questions like an arch over my meditations daily. Compassion was today’s luncheon companion, another mother who, like most who welcome new life, wishes the best for our young.
