Early in life he proved to be gifted for music and with three other kids he…

What is happening at that moment in the eyes, in the heart of each of these children, what is happening between them at that moment thanks to the theater, is it not essential?

Their chests rise, stretch out in the same direction, their hands, their shoulders are in communion, but…

Corona

Aus der Hand frisst der Herbst mir sein Blatt: wir sind Freunde.

Wir schälen die Zeit aus den Nüssen und lehren sie gehn:

die Zeit kehrt zurück in die Schale.

Im Spiegel ist Sonntag,

im Traum wird geschlafen,…

"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken…

READING TIME: 3 MINUTES

Buddha was born as his mother leaned against a tree for support. He attained enlightenment seated beneath a tree and passed away as trees stood witness overhead. If Buddha were to return to our world, he would certainly be connected to the campaign to protect…

When we feed our Egos, we starve our souls! The material world we live in thrives on feeding our egos and

starving our souls. That is why there is no soul in anything we do. Praying and going to temples and churches

too has become more food for the ego rather than the soul. We need to find ways to feed our souls and starve

our egos if we want our civilization to be meaningful.

Another deep, deep heartache. George Floyd, an unarmed innocent black man, is dead, killed by a white police officer whose duty is to “serve and protect.” Racism and bigotry in America fueled by the current administration’s constant promotion of White…

What is happening in the US today, and in many other parts of the world, is pathetic, painful and disgusting. The inability of civilized human beings to get along in this modern age is shameful. The burden for this lies heavily on the White race and, to a lesser degree on the people of color.

As long as the Whites refuse to acknowledge and atone for the historic plunder and pillage of the rest of the world the wounds will fester. The foundation for the affluence today is built on the…

This is Timeless....really touched my soul. This poem was written in 1869, reprinted during 1919 Pandemic.

This is amazing!

Hear and be amazed at the unique nature of the world.

I wish you can enjoy it....

Have I lived enough?

Have I loved enough?

Have I considered Right Action enough, have I come to any conclusion?

Have I experienced happiness with sufficient gratitude?

Have I endured loneliness with grace?

I say this, or perhaps I'm just thinking it.

Actually I probably think too much.

Then I step…

Mary Catherine Bateson writes: Lynn [Margulis] submitted her paper to 15 different journals in 1966 before it was published, by the Journal of Theoretical Biology. It was turned down for going against the prevailing assumption, which came out of Darwin’s writings, that evolution depends on conflict and…

The music icon gave a solo performance representing a message of "love, healing and hope to Italy and the world."

Lockdown



Yes there is fear.

Yes there is isolation.

Yes there is panic buying.

Yes there is sickness.

Yes there is even death.

But,

They say that in Wuhan after so many years of noise

You can hear the birds again.

They say that after just a few weeks of quiet

The sky is no longer thick with fumes

But blue and grey and clear.

They say that in…
