Thought for Today

“It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community—a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living.  This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the Earth.”
—THICH NHAT HANH [Source: http://www.plumvillage.org%5D

Send out the Peace Doves

One of the things I enjoy most about surfing around the internet looking for information for Espirational is the little unexpected gems I sometimes find.  My search for information on Desmond Tutu led me to the website for the Nobel Peace Prize.

There I found a game.  Send the Peace Doves out on their mission to disarm nuclear weapons throughout the world.  You choose the destination for each dove.  There is a lot of reading involved because there are extensive clues, but I think you will learn some things you didn’t know.   I did.

So visit the Nobel website and send out those Peace Doves.

Celebrate Spring!

Today is the Spring Equinox.  These are just a few of the things I think are worth celebrating this time to year.

*  Warmer weather or at least the promise of it.

*  The fresh clean smell of spring air.

*  Getting back on the hiking trails after a long, cold winter.

*  Flowers!

*  The symbolic promise of new life and new beginnings.

So, what do you love about Spring?
