INTERFAITH DIALOGUE with MASTER DAO

Presence –  To be deeply engaged in the moment
 
September 11, 2001, was the day that everything changed for me because it altered my priorities. The last thing the passengers in those airplanes did before they died was place calls to their families to tell them how much they loved them. That was the most important thing in the moments before their imminent deaths, reaching out to their loved ones. Nothing else mattered, not schedules, lists or ridiculous goals.
