Sharing is Caring

Two things to share with you today.

1: Moby – Slipping Away. Click on the song to download!

All that we needed was right
The threshold is breaking tonight

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I need and I never could say
Hold on people that slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

All that we needed tonight
Are people who love us and like
I know how it feels to meant
Oh when we leave here, you'll see

The Wisdoms of Humanity by Olivier & Danielle Follmi

The Himalayas inspired and guided our lives for twenty years. In villages nestling at the foot of the great peaks, we shared the long winter evenings with families, learning the universal language of the soul by the light of flickering flames. Slowly, we came to understand from tender look, simple words and attentive gestures how much each individual can contribute to the creation of the Work, by generating beauty and life. We also met some Tibetan masters who, in words as simple as poems, explained to us the workings of the conscience, the secrets of life.

…we hope that the wisdoms of the great masters of all time and of all cultures will prove an inspiration to each one of us, enabling us to brighten our own path through life and to help make the world a more generous, a simpler and a more profound place.

Climb up to the sun, on a ladder of light… 3.563m, Sayar d’Uyuni, Bolivia

What we play is life. Louis Armstrong

I am a link in the chain of human beings who has to pass on to my descendents the life that I myself received from my parents, which does not belong to me...

Power is like an egg: if you hold it too tightly, it will break in your hand; if you do not hold it firmly enough, it will slip out of your hand and, again, break. Power needs to be exercised with neither too much severity nor too much laxness… Joseph Ki-Zerbo

To you, my dear child. I can teach you all about AIDS, but I cannot protect you from HIV. I can tell you things, but I cannot be responsible for them. I can advise you, but I cannot decide for you. I can talk to you about alcohol and drugs, but I cannot say No for you. I can teach you kindness, but I cannot give you morality. I can teach you respect, but I cannot make you honourable. I can pass on values to you, but I cannot give you morality. I can give you love, but I cannot give you an inner beauty. I gave you life, but I cannot live your life for you. A.A. Xoagub

Nonviolence is te greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. Gandhi

We advance under the absolute monarchy of the sun. There is total harmony between being here and being alive. Jose Emilio Pacheco

Your reactions are shared by all humanity. Your brain is not yours, it has evolved through centuries of time. So we are questioning deeply whether there is an individual at all. We are the whole of humanity, we are the rest of mankind. Kirshnamurti

Each one has a special nature peculiar to himself which he must follow and through which he will find his way to freedom. Swami Vivekananda

If we think about the vast majority of human problems, both on a personal and on a worldwide scale, it seems that they stem from an inability to feel sincerely involved with others, and to put ourselves in their place. Violence is inconceivable if everyone is genuinely concerned with the happines of others. Mattheiu Ricard

Peace must develop on mutual trust. The 14th Dalai Lama

Man cannot be broken down into emotions, intellect, or action. Man is a whole. When these three elements of intellect, feelings and action are in harmony, they make up man. Svami Prajnanpad

Confidence is closely linked to how well our perceptions match reality. Matthieu Ricard

Let us try to recognize the precious nature of each day. The 14th Dalai Lama

This body with which I move, leading me towards death with every step I take. That body which I carry at each new moment entrusts me to fate. How else could I express rock-paper-scissors. How else could I enjoy the past and the compassionate present. Roberto Monzon

Without the soaring spirit, we are nothing. And quest that raises mankind above man is the only one that honors humanity. Irenee Guilane Dioh
