Coincidence?????

I just found out that my friend Leslie adopted her new kitty around the same time we adopted our new kitty. Both were strays and I am thinking that they are related......what do you think????
Namaste,

I don’t love baseball. I don’t love most of today’s players.
I don’t love the owners.
I do love, however, the baseball that is in the heads of baseball fans.
I love the dreams of glory of 10-year-olds, the reminiscences of 70-year-olds. The greatest baseball arena is in our heads,
what we bring to the games, to the telecasts, to reading newspaper reports.

~Stan Isaacs

I think our kitties like each other!!!!

When I see spirit in everything,

Peace is at hand!!!!

Laugh!!

Here is a picture of some of our new friends that we met at the Further tour. Their names are Mark and Bobby.

See the quote below!!!

Namaste,

Michele

“The average child laughs around 400 times per day, while the average adult laughs only

15 times per day. Rediscover those other 385 laughs.”

Smile!!!

“When you buy an ice cream cone for the kid who just dropped his chocolate scoop, you

buy more than ice cream. If you are in a long line of cars and you let someone turn in from a side

street, you momentarily turn the asphalt jungle into a safe haven. Letting the stranger behind you

go first in the grocery line means there are fewer strangers in the world at that moment. When you

take some carnations to the elderly widow at the end of the block, you treat yourself to wisdom

beyond your years. And if you take the time to leave a message on an answering machine to cheer

up a depressed person, you put a human face on the technology that surrounds (and sometimes

threatens) us. In the process of acting compassionately, you give yourself the power to experience

a cleansing moment of unselfishness.”

"You start out as a single cell derived from the coupling of a sperm and egg; this divides in two, then four, then eight, and so on. At a certain stage there emerges a single cell that has as all its progeny of the human brain. The mere existence of such a cell should be one of the world's great astonishments. People ought to be walking around all day, calling to each other in endless wonderment, talking of that cell."


-Lewis Thomas, *The Lives of a Cell*

Love is the new religion!!!!

Love Is The New Religion

On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things
seem dark
But calmly and quietly, at the same time, something else is happening
underground
An inner revolution is taking place and certain individuals are being called
to a higher light
It is a silent revolution
From the inside out
From the ground up

It is time for me to reveal myself
I am an embedded agent of an secret, undercover
Clandestine
Global operation
A spiritual conspiracy
We have sleeper cells in every nation on the planet

You won’t see us on the T.V.
You won’t read about us in the newspaper
You won’t hear about us on the radio

We don’t seek any glory
We don’t wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes
Colors and styles

Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes in every country and culture of
the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, in farms and villages, tribes
and remote islands

You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done

Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way so no one will notice

During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night is where the real work takes place

Some call us the “Conscious Army”
We are slowly creating a new world with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders from the Central Command
The Spiritual Intelligence Agency

We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no ones is looking
Poems
Hugs
Music
Photography
Movies
Kind words
Smiles
Meditation and prayer
Dance
Social activism
Websites
Blogs
Random acts of kindness

We each express ourselves in our own unique ways with our own unique
gifts and talents

“Be the change you want to see in the world”
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the power of all the oceans
combined

Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates shall be moved in the centuries to
come

Love is the new religion of the 21st century

You don’t have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it

It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings

Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you

We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have….
All are welcome…
The door is open

-Brian Piergrossi

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own!!

Marko on a field trip on the last day of school this year.

“Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.”

-Pablo Picasso

Your actions

Marko won this mask :)

What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.
