You must be the change- Ghandi

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
I just love this quote. What a great meditation this is.

By Bob Meraz from Basement Hip Hop

"Would we not hold responsible the gardener who allowed a weed to go undisturbed to the point that it destroyed the budding roses? As I age in mind and soul, it has become abundantly clear that America has bred a culture of violence. We’ve become increasingly callous and cynical. I’m afraid that we have lost sight of the big picture. And not until we learn to extinguish the plurality that divides us, will we begin to gain sight of the ultimate goal of peace among men. Is the sense of loss and grievance reserved for only the families and friends of those that were murdered, or perhaps family, friends, and family friends and friends of friends? It is only when we develop the sensitivity to truly and sincerely empathize with the pain and suffering that our fellow citizens endure, no matter the distance in time or space, can we earnestly claim to be “One nation under God.” Imagine the level of concern that each of us would feel if this was one of our neighboring colleges. Well… I believe “neighboring” is simply a matter of perspective. When one views the landscape from the peaks of the Himalayas, all villages are connected."

He has some great insight I believe. Well done.

Take a Pilgrimage to Your Center

One of my favorite writers is Father John Main. Listen to his message; “Take a pilgrimage- a pilgrimage to your own center, your own heart, and there you learn to remain awake, alive and still. Religion means “re-linking”, connecting with your center. Discovering our center is the first task and first responsibility of every life that is to become fully human. To be in our own center is to be in God. “The kingdom of heaven is within you.” The answers are inside of YOU. Turn inward.” Have a joyous Easter everyone.” Glory to God.
