“It’s not about breaking the rules. It is about abandoning the concept of rules altogether.” ~Paul Lemberg
Here is a beautiful way to spend 7 minutes of your day. Enjoy!
“If we would only see that all limitations are self-imposed and chosen out of fear, we would leap at once into the arms of grace, no matter how fierce that embrace might be.” ~Adyashanti
“When the light is on your side, Love reveals itself to thee. Then you can, yes you can, You can be set free.”
“We are offered to watch a string of empty-minded shows that are designed as entertainment but function to distract people from understanding their real problems or identifying the sources of their problems. Instead, those mindless shows socialize the viewer to become a passive consumer. One way to deal with an unfulfilled life is to buy more and more stuff. The shows exploit people’s emotional needs and keep them disconnected from the needs of others. As public spaces are more and more dismantled, schools and the relatively few public spaces left work to make people good consumers.” ~Noam Chomsky

Five hundred women marched in Abuja yesterday, more than two weeks after 234 female students were kidnapped from their boarding school in Nigeria. The protestors came together to create colorful and poignant signs, calling for the return of their loved ones. So heartbreaking. Please help spread the word. There needs to be an international outcry and effort to bring them home.
So many good reasons to oppose the Keystone pipeline. Watch a few of them in this short video that takes clips from a Keystone PR ad and intersperses clips of actual disasters caused by companies like theirs. Even Desmond Tutu is speaking out against the pipeline ~ “It is appalling that the US is debating whether to approve a massive pipeline transporting 830,000 barrels of the world’s dirtiest oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Producing and transporting this quantity of oil, via the Keystone XL pipeline, could increase Canada’s carbon emissions by over 30%. Who can stop it? Well, we can, you and I. And it is not just that we can stop it, we have a responsibility to do so.”

“I think that we are like stars. Something happens to burst us open; but when we burst open and think we are dying; we’re actually turning into a supernova. And then when we look at ourselves again, we see that we’re suddenly more beautiful than we ever were before!” ~ C. JoyBell C.
