Tenderness, gentleness, and compassion pervading our very being and other beings. He is learning to suspend judgement and somehow has found in his heart the ability to call Putin his brother. He believes that the confusion and pain of our current reality is required for the transformation of humanity. He knows that female leadership is necessary.
