Omega Institute, 1987<\/p>\n
So many souls in transition<\/p>\n
Ram Dass tried to keep us grounded<\/p>\n
by leading guided meditations each evening<\/p>\n
reminding us that we were there to be of<\/p>\n
service to others, sore and needing.<\/p>\n
Some were living in tents, others had dorm<\/p>\n
rooms, all had troubling events we were<\/p>\n
trying to leave behind. One woman in<\/p>\n
particular, muttering to herself all the time,<\/p>\n
when we were doing self-introductions, said<\/p>\n
“I’m Janet from another planet,” and we all<\/p>\n

for the ride, just for the summer. Like Ram<\/p>\n
Dass said, we were all just walking each other home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
