If you can, help others. If not, then at least refrain from hurting others.~Dalai Lama ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I view everything in our universe as living and sacred. How differently might we all be if we viewed everything sacred?

How we spend money is shaping our future and the future of our children. The dollar is more powerful than the vote. Spend on what is meaningful to you. If we all do this, our world can be truly changed for the better, and we will guarantee a promising future for the next generations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." ~Dalai Lama

"Contentment" Contentment comes from an inner serenity that permeates the whole person. The Ancestors spoke of this state of grace and called it Walking in Beauty. When people are at peace with the world, the inner peace that they carry shines, allowing all who see them to recognize their contentment. In the modern world where accumulating material things seems to be the standard for contentment, we often see that material success does not bring serenity. Many people discover that vanity is not beauty, jewelry does not indicate a person's worth, and haughtiness does not reflect a person's social rank. Contentment comes from being at peace with the Self and with all life, honoring one's connections to the whole without judgments. -Contentment is Cow's Medicine, teaching us to find the joy of being, rather than the joy of having. Where would you find the truth about your personal contentment if you were to make a list of what gives you the joys found in being?-" from "Earth Medicine: Ancestor's Ways of Harmony for Many Moons" by Jamie Sams, c)1994, Harper Collins, p. 188 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~this life is looking within, seeing/feeling/experiencing basic goodness in all things, creating beauty, wholeness, emptiness, oneness, nothingness, the mundane and the sublime, flux, the unknowable, breath. The sacred place between the out-breath and in-breath, the in-breath and out-breath. Forests, deserts, plains, waters, sky, stars, sun, snow, cold, trees, dirt. Kids, animals, friends. Mud that soaks up the sun.
