Beautiful read. May more people realize this way of being.
I've enjoyed recently discovering that the oldest texts from the Law of Peace you invoke mentions 7 in reference to the thickness of the skin of our leaders and for us to "Look and listen for the welfare of the whole people and have always in view not only the present but also the coming generations, even those whose faces are yet beneath the surface of the ground -- the unborn of the future Nation."
What stands out to me more than anything is "whole people" and with my newfound love of your work "those whose faces are yet beneath the surface of the ground".
I was recently given the idea, also discussed in the cited Wikipedia page, of embodying the central generation, reaching back 3 generations with our memory and forward 3 generations with our imaginations, always loving the whole people.
