I read the news on several sites across the world this morning. I am always amazed how differently, events are perceived and reported. Reading between the lines and beyond the hype, spin, and talking points, it is difficult to see where the truth is. It always seems to be serving someone's interest ---- rarely the good of all. There is a helplessness about taking in this reality. Once caught up in its web, which I so easily seem to do from time to time, I am reminded of Mother Teresa's wisdom, Don't wait for the leaders, do it alone person-to-person. This insight has redirected my thoughts many times. How do we start doing this as a practice, letting our lives be a beacon for good and peace?
· Look for opportunities to be supportive of others. Small bits of kindness can make a BIG difference to someone else.
· Resist our human nature to judge others. What we say and do can hurt. Wrap your words and action in dignity and respect. Love your neighbor.
· Pray for peace in your own unique way. There is power in it.
If a bunch of us focused on these three things, imagine the difference we could make?
What if we it were possible for us to meet and talk with one another PERSON-TO-PERSON across the world? ... WE CAN!
...and YOU, your friends and the whole world are invited to an unprecedented opportunity to dialogue with our good neighbors across the world. Imagine what we could do together if we could BE TOGETHER for a while, bringing our skills, talents and best thinking to figure out a better ways of living on this planet that would benefit everyone? Dreaming new dreams and putting them into action.
