What happens


We need


To receive


Take care

“ Let us take care of the elders,
for they have come a long way. 
Let us take care of the children,
for they have a long way to go.
And let us take care of those in between,
for they are doing the work!”
~African prayer

YUP

An old laborer, bent double with age and toil, was gathering sticks in a forest. At last he grew so tired and hopeless that he threw down the bundle of sticks, and cried out: "I cannot bear this life any longer. Ah, I wish Death would only come and take me!" As he spoke, Death, a grisly skeleton, appeared and said to him: "What wouldst thou, Mortal? I heard thee call me." "Please, sir," replied the woodcutter, "Would you kindly help me to lift this bundle of sticks on to my shoulder?"

FOLLOW THE THREAD

"There's a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn't change. People wonder about what you are pursuing. You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can't get lost. Tragedies happen; people get hurt or die; and you suffer and get old. Nothing you do can stop time's unfolding. You don't ever let go of the thread."  ~ William Stafford

International Women's Day

"I urge young women to accept leadership roles. We need you to promote love and compassion. Realise my dream—that the 200 nations of the world be governed by women. There’ll be less war, violence, and economic and social injustice because strength is rooted in love and compassion." Dalai Lama
