“When I come down to it, I see the dance as between love and fear. I see that fear leads you to contract, to go into your mind, become more prejudiced, more violent out of fear for the survival of yourself and loved ones. The other one is the quality of love; and love is embracing because it sees in everybody all of it.”
- Ram Dass -

The
more we are able to recognize in our bodies what a lack of trust—in
others and in ourselves—feels like, the more we will notice a desire to
belong, to experience interconnectedness.

Construction of the Royal Airforce Base at Lakenheath was held up in 2008 when relics of this base’s ancient inhabitants were unearthed during a routine construction project. The base must work with British archaeology officials for every base construction because of the area’s dense concentration of buried artifacts.
Before the Air Force set up shop at Lakenheath more than 60 years ago, it was home to the Anglo-Saxons — ancient peoples who inhabited the south and east of the country from the early fifth century through the Norman conquest of 1066.
Toiling alongside a construction crew that rebuilt the traffic circle on the northside of the base in August, a team of British archaeologists dug up three Anglo-Saxon graves dating to between 450 and 650.
They found two unusually large bodies dating from before the Norman Invasion of 1066 that appeared at first glance to be a husband and wife. The bodies were buried embracing each other, but genetic testing revealed both were men. It remains unknown if they were lovers, relatives, warrior companions, or just good friends…but I think we know.

Attention
is the start of love. There can be no love without attention. In
cultivating attention, we’re cultivating a possibility for intention and
a possibility for connection.
