here’s to one ripening!

facsincated by language, i really enjoyed this from Jack Ricchiuto in gassho today…

Very interesting conversation last night about the fact that good and evil were terms in the Greek translations of the original Aramaic. In the Aramaic, good and evil were derived from the words which were originally ripe and unripe. And the term we have as “God” was originally infinite oneness. It would be interesting to see if a profound shift in our world might occur simply from these kinds of profound shifts in our language.
…and happy solstice, a beautiful sunny day in Chicago today feels like the ripening of the North!
