Joanne uses the song "At the Foot of the Mountain" and Thay's story about the river to illustrate how we are made of every single thing in the cosmos and how awareness of our interconnectedness makes peace, harmony, and fearlessness possible. The song “At the Foot of the Mountain” is sung by the Nuns of Plum Village, from the recording "Mountains" available from Blue Cliff Monastery. (Hartford Day of Mindfulness, 2011)
