Another one by him:

When there is a non-dual moment with another person or even with an animal – there is no boundary between self and other, so ‘direct inner knowing - silent communication’ just happens ….

I am reminded:

I once was doing busy work and smelled a fragrance I had not smelled in a while.
It pulled at me so I followed it.
It led me to a room and I peeked in and there was an old Navajo man and
he was sitting with a smudge of desert juniper.
He looked up, welcomed me with his eyes and I smiled and sat down.
3 minutes or so later I got up nodded and left.
Not a word was spoken but we both understood that it was a sacred moment of
coming together sharing company and sharing smoke and fragrance.
A needed time out and relaxing from busy work.
I then went back to doing busy work refreshed and light.
