Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.
President Obama, you could not be any more missed than you are at this moment in our country. That we have the beautiful memory of a president whose words always made us calm, who gave respect to everyone, friend or foe, who always called in and listened to the best advisors he could find, and most of all who tried to bring us together for the health and security of our country, keeps us going now. We remember you as always tending the garden of humanity, urging us to grow in compassion and in further knowledge. You lifted us up in our humanity. You brought us dignity of spirit. Your memory gives us an immense contrast between nurturing and nihilism. To have such a memory is to know we are capable of so much more as a country that the utter chaos we see today. "Truth crushed to earth" said Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "will rise again". We can already feel the heart of truth opening again here. And we thank you for your example that has kept us going forward in spirit. "We shall overcome."
