My Life
My life began with duty's pride,
My life shall live with beauty's light.
My life shall sport with reality's soul,
My life shall end with Divinity's height(sri Chinmoy)

There is, (among many), a part of the world that everyday sees another sunrise bring with it pain, suffering, death-far too soon....but, along with this is the courage, love, strength and determination to survive and help others live with as much dignity and wellbeing as possible.
Quote:
Swaziland has the world's highest AIDS infection rate. Of the country's
population of 1.1 million, there are more than 200,000 people living with HIV.
The number of children orphaned by this disease now exceeds 78,000. 10% of Swazi
households are run by children. These children often lack food and are cut off
from basic health services and education. Many children wind up living with
their extended families, whose resources are increasingly stretched to the
breaking point.How best to care for these many children and poor families has
become a huge challenge.My dear friend Maithri from:
http://soaringimpulse.blogspot.com/
is there at the moment, he, along with many others, care for and try to make it a better world for these beautiful children and adults.

Soul receives from soul that knowledge,therefore not by book nor from tongue. If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart.
(Rumi)"Every day we do things, we are things that have to do with peace. If we are aware of our life..., our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment, we are alive."
~Thich Nhat Hanh
Kiss The Earth
~
Walk and touch peace every moment.Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each step brings a fresh breeze.
Each step makes a flower bloom.
Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Bring the Earth your love and happiness.
The Earth will be safe when we feel safe in ourselves.
~Thich Nhat Hanh

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

How lovely to see you back, Pam! Warm hugs to you and yours. Hope all is well on your side of the globe.
Please visit Chris/WW... he's had a stroke and is in hospital... all updates are being posted on his last blog post comments' page.
He is starting the slow road to recovery but needs all the healing thoughts he can get.
Hope to see you around more often!
Pam, if u happen to catch this, got your message about Chris, I am so sorry to hear this news...have tried several times today to get over to your place and around, I keep getting kicked out of blogger--but not my own???
I will keep trying to leave Chris a message, my thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with him too...to be well, to get through the challenges ahead. Just hugs for him, so young, so full of life.
...it works here???
Weird.
Dear Pam,
From the other side of the world I feel your gracious presence,
Your loving words and compassion touch my heart,
Thank you for being a champion for the children, for the sick, who are in such desperate need of our love,
With my deepest love,
Maithri

Pam, I copied your message and posted it on Chris' comments page. But please keep trying. Donn prints out comments and takes them in to read to Chris. Plus you will get all the updates on there.
Take care. Hugs to you.
Hi Pam, you must have been very busy of late.
Good thoughts you have here, our children are so precious but not everyone's are cared for as they should be.
Hi Pam,
This was a very compassionate and moving post. It is heartbreaking to think of all the children who need a chance. Take care, Carver
Welcome back, O fair one. So happy to see you again. This is a lovely post. I especially like the last quote from Thich Nhat Hanh, who is a wise and beautiful soul.
I don't know of sri Chinmoy, but he sure warms the cockles of the old heart. Yes. That's the way we feel sometimes on a good day in late middle age.
Your post speaks volumes to my soul, Pam. I am having trouble accessing Maithri's site, so will try in the evening.
Nice to see you back on line. I know your farm and family keep you busy.
Hello, Pam! Hope all is well down under. We finally have summer here, after a brutally long winter that started last October... nothing like almost 8 months of crap weather!
Take care and hope to see you around the blogiverse soon. ~hugs~
Pam,
So sorry to hear of serious illness in the family,near and far.
Prayers for your brother.
Sending my warmest love to you my friend,
M
Great hearing from you. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas! I will also keep my fingers crossed that you get some rain.
