"I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, one's own family or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace."
H. H. the Dalai Lama
My friend, I hope your week goes good and full of happiness.
Some of you are asking why I don't go online as frequently as I used to and the answer is I've been very busy spreading our word for peace and humanity.
I decided some time ago that when we work only for ourselves and for our closest ones, although it is a noble effort, it is only what we're "supposed" to do.
Sometimes along the way, we might find ourselves caught in a routine where we lose the song and beauty that life is made of.
By becoming part of a broader effort for a better society, we know in our hearts that our lives have its intended meaning, that we're not just surviving anymore. In the wise words of Mother Theresa, "We can do no great things; only small things with great love". But these small things done with great love can definitely make a big difference for everyone.
My dear and wonderful friend. As I sit here and look at the beauty I see around me I want to thank you for your friendship and send love your way. May the light that shines within you be as bright as the morning star and be your guide to much happiness. May it fill you heart with more love than it can hold and make you feel ever lasting joy. May you always feel cherished and treasured by all who know you.
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." - Anais Nin
"Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of [people]. I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my heart Of children in famine, of victims tortured And of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living."
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.
I've been away in a trip for a few days, thank you for remembering me.
As I look Beyond the ripples of my reflections To examine my inner self; The ripples begin to fade . . . As the reflection lays beside me Grasping my hand, The inner warmth shields me And the vision of my reflection appears I see you. My Friend.
