During a time when out world is focusing on how to win wars, fix the economy, save bands and bail out businesses it is important to keep in our hearts and minds that which is of utmost concern, the true necessities of life.

The Dalai Lama reminds us,


"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive."


While we may not have the answers to all the questions humankind is currently facing, we do have solutions for the challenges of life. We, each of us, can contribute to healing the world. We can participate in bringing forth peace and happiness, we can make a difference in the lives of our loved ones and those in our communities, even our sisters and brothers throughout the world.

How?

John Lubbock give us the answer:


"Do something, however small, to make others happier and better, is the highest ambition, the most elevating hope, which can inspire a human being."

And Gandhi:


"To give service to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer."

At times, when the problems of our world seem overwhelming, even insurmountable, I'm reminded to step back and make a little difference in my tiny corner of the world.

Mahatma Gandhi writes,


"I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love."

May we work together for unity and love!
