On Monday, I gave a talk at the beginning of a Kundalini Yoga class I teach on the tumultuous changes we are experiencing in almost every realm of our lives these.  Seventeen-year-old Stephanie and her mother were a part of that class a the Islington Community School in Toronto.  Afterwards, Stephanie's mother, with Stephanie just behind her, came forward and told me the fourth girl this year had just committed suicide at her daughter's school.

As Stephanie began to speak, it became clear that she was having difficulty coping with yet another loss.  "She was two years younger than me," she said incredulously.  It was as if Stephanie and her mother had come forward to add emphasis to my conclusion that, as a culture, we don't know where we are going.
