the world is in need

mjd. 2015 present moment offering bowl

our world is in need

(always)

of peace

of love

& kindness.

while it may be beyond 

our abilities

to stop acts of evil and violence,

we need not participate in

promote

or empower them. 

in each moment

you have a choice

(we all do).

you choose your thoughts

your words

your actions.

learn to know yourself.

be vigilant.

use your moments

to nurture the world

and its inhabitants.

we create the climate

of our planet. 

on ahimsa

exercise kindness 

or at least do no harm... 

as we are all connected,

connected,

connected... 

soulful

a woman who lives in my town is 'making it' - dedicated to her craft she has put in time and effort to be able to share her expression... i do not know her but i am so very happy for her... we know how hard it is to become a working artist... this song was free on itunes last week... i wanted to share her soulful voice with you - and show you where i live... 'my' bay - the water and sand and trees that have fed me for over 4 decades...  and have apparently fed her as well... 

her haunting music brought me to a place of deep calm - 


'ahimsa' - a sanskrit term that means non -violence... the practice of kindness and doing no harm... a principle strongly supported by gandhi who stressed the unity of all living things...

'in a gentle way,

you can shake the world.'
