And so it is

In writing about the work of Dr. Sharif Abdullah, who “grew up in Camden, New Jersey, in poverty, unhealthy relationships, and gang warfare…,” and who has gone on to become an attorney, university professor, consultant, speaker, innovator and writer, working for change in our world in the absolute most positive sense of change and growing consciousness, Leela Vox Alexander closes with this statement: “His work is the bodhisattva vow in action, reminding us that none of us are free until all are free. When we recognize that we are related to more than our families, that we live beyond our city limits, that borders are illusive boundaries, the rewards will far outweigh the discomfort of facing our own human shadows.” (Science of Mind magazine, September 2009, p. 29)
