Wangari Maathai, the inspirational Kenyan activist passed away recently. Before she left us, she did so with a beautiful message to inspire positive action. Please hear her story about the hummingbird. Let’s all be hummingbirds - we can do it if we work together.

“One of the most important steps you can take to help calm the storm is to not allow yourself to be taken in a flurry of overwrought emotion or despair — thereby accidentally contributing to the swale and the swirl.
Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts — adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take “everyone on Earth” to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.
- Clarissa Pinkola Estés”

More Than Words

Being the change we wish to see in the world, takes more than just talk & noble intentions. Its a fundamental shift toward taking personal responsibility & authentic action, while employing active hope. We walk through our lives with a great power to create or to destroy. One person can change the world, one choice can tip the scales, one action can make the difference, & this one world is our only home.

“Again and again some people in the crowd wake up. They have no ground in the crowd and they emerge according to broader laws. They carry strange customs with them, and demand room for bold gestures. The future speaks ruthlessly through them.
- Rainer Maria Rilke”

““Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”

One Day To Be The Change

It is in the entwining of our beautiful differences and our underlying commonalities that make our human cadence or song so beautiful and unique, & it is the circumstances that we have created in our lives partnered with our ability to rise to this occasion of life that truly defines who we are as individuals and as a human community. You have the power to change the world, every moment of everyday, one choice, one action, one day at a time.

“The acorn becomes an oak by means of automatic growth; no commitment is necessary. The kitten similarly becomes a cat on the basis of instinct. Nature and being are identical in creatures like them. But a man or woman becomes fully human only by his or her choices and his or her commitment to them. People attain worth and dignity by the multitude of decisions they make from day by day. These decisions require courage.
- Rollo May”

Same Boat Now

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 01:11:28 -0400

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.” There is no ejection seat, no time out, no where to run, we may disagree on where we come from & how we got here, what the meaning of it all is & where we go after we’re done, but whatever we believe, we are all in this together & each of us only has so much time. What are you going to do with the time that you have?

What Is Your Dream?

Mon, 13 Jun 2011 16:52:00 -0400

MLK had a dream, Rosa Parks said no I will not sit at the back of the bus, Terry Fox chose to run, Mother Teresa chose to love, Gandhi said no to injustice and yes to Non-violence, and the Dalai Lama can’t go home yet chooses loving-kindness. Every great person is a reflection of the countless unnamed hero’s who make the world a better place everyday. What is your dream and what are you willing to do about it?
