Joanne uses the song "At the Foot of the Mountain" and at story by Thich Nhat Hanh to illustrate how we are made of every single element of the cosmos. We learn that only through an awareness of our ultimate interconnectedness are peace, harmony, and fearlessness possible.

The song “At the Foot of the Mountain” is sung by the Nuns of Plum Village, from the recording "Mountains" available from Blue Cliff Monastery.

Talk given at the Hartford Day of Mindfulness, November 5, 2011.
