With all the love I know!


Namaste!

Gestures

My brother and I attended a Chicago Cubs baseball game a few weeks ago and part of the fun was watching the interaction between the players in the outfield and the fans sitting in the bleachers. Sometimes after the inning warm up, the left-fielder would throw a ball into the ...

Who Has the Power?

As a society, we consistently speak as if we can teach, motivate, inspire, educate and empower other people. I wonder what it will take for us to understand that we can do none of these things? ...

PEACE

 

Peace is not a place to get to; it is a place to come from.

 
 

What will we bring into the world today?

Junkies





One of the people who responded to “A World That Works For Everyone” said that probably wouldn’t fly because people would get bored without the tension and excitement.
