EARTH FAMILY

If we use the Judeo-Christian story of CREATION, one cell from Adam, one from Eve, creating a single cell and thus evolved the whole human race. If we use DARWIN, from humans, back to mammals, birds, reptiles, eventually to the Amoeba, a single cell, and thus the human race. No ...

Damage

Each time we speak in a damaging way about another person, we are actually revealing our own fear and insecurity. Each time we refuse to do that ourselves or allow others to do so in our presence, we bring forth the possibility of healing for everyone involved. Why is it ...

OMG

What causes you (and me) to be trapped is what we call personal importance.

Giving of Thanks, Really!





Thanksgiving is one of those days that would be terrific to celebrate every day,
if we were truly grateful for all of the incredible gifts we have in our lives.

Do you have food? Are you grateful each time you eat?
Do you have shelter? Are you grateful even when it is not raining or snowing?
Do you have loving-kindness? How would it be if we created some today?
