Sage advice from Colin. (btw, I couldn't locate this article...I would like to read it if anyone has the link still...maybe when I got to the news it was already a different day & had changed).
Anyway, it truly is a fine line to walk between being aware of the atrocities in the world & not being overwhelmed by them. I have realized if I get too involved in the horrors I loose my balance & hope for a better world or my awareness of all that is right in the world. There is so much good here & I know that for me it is so important for me to know, be & share love, peace, joy...all of those things...So I have to chose which battles to fight & which ones to put energy into or give funds to. Yet anything I do is such a tiny blip on the big world screen. Which in itself can be daunting...yet, I am reminded of the 100th monkey syndrome. Its about how when there are enough people with an awareness of a certain issue then all of a sudden there is a quantum leap of awareness among humanity. Someone (don't remember who) came up with this theory based on their observations of monkeys on an island. Does anyone have this book? I think I have it somewhere....food for thought...& hope.... > Please pray, or think good thoughts, or whatever you do, for the sanity of > the world today. sending out good vibes, i whatever way is really important. Butthe wrold today is really no different to the world of yesterday. dreadful things have always happened. juts we here about them now. ******************************************* Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitarshttp://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
