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.
In my end is my beginning:
I have come home again.
I move forward, carried by this lightness. And understand that it is the beginning, the very beginning of the path to be lived.
A path which for me is interwoven with exchanges between the narrow human condition
and the vast, luminous sky…
I have just arrived back home.
Tomorrow, or in a short while maybe, I will have
lost it again. Or it will have changed, new each time
encountered and yet unchanging… without bearings, I
will move forward guided by silence, this silence that
manifests through its presence, through its absence.
