Beautifully written truth-telling. When we construct a thing - be it a building, a thought, or a society - the most crucial element of its longevity is the integrity of its foundation. All that follows is dependent upon this fundamental grounding.

In this regard, Thom has earned the honor of bomoh. He has brought us truth, compassion, and wisdom. His writing is a brilliant translation of the complex into the parlance of everyday-speak. I thank you, Thom, for remaining a humble and imperative guide amidst an ocean of untruths and great-forgettings.

For those looking for a definition of "bomoh", you can find its essence in Robert Wolff's "Original Wisdom" - a book which so deeply illustrates the foundations of our humanness.

Further understanding of Thom's post can be attained from "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" (Thom Hartmann) and "Ishmael" (Daniel Quinn). Though not formally recognized as companion writings, these two books are most certainly such.
