You call them “developing
countries.”  Developing toward what?  More disconnection from each other thanks to
the use of technology?  More focus on the
acquisition of material abundance?  Do you
think these things bring greater happiness and peace?  Yes, it is good in your world to have running
water, sanitation, and shelter, but once these are satisfied, how developed
must you become before you declare, “I have arrived?”

Take a look at some of
your least “developed” tribes.  There you
will find a connection between its members at a level most of you reading our
words on your computers have never known. 
There you will find caring for multiple generations and for the
neighbor.  There you will find long
moments spent sitting in communion.  There
you will find broad smiles.
Now, we ask you … which
parts of your life will you choose to develop today?
