Show me Something Wonderful

[Hiram]

Okay my friends, kind and surly souls alike. I have been composing an essay on the human species and its relationship with the Earth, and I thought this would be a good moment to be reminded of why this little blue jewel is a great place.

Please post something here you find wonderful, beautiful, funny, delicate, moving or powerful.

As an exercise, you can pretend that someone has their finger on button and is planning on destroying this world, unless they can be convinced its worth saving. Everyone loves something, something is precious to everyone. Videos, photos, words....I'll start us off with something simple:

My favorite quote from Jiddu Krishnamurti is (paraphrasing): One cannot bring Truth down, rather, one must aspire to ascend to it.

Thank you, Hiram, for making reference to Krishnamurti. He really was a pure soul.

He resisted to play out the role of a Messias (the next Jesus Christ), as it was prepared for him through the leaders of the Theosophical Society in India.

Instead of putting himself on this pedestal, he stayed very humble and truthful. His gentle voice was reaching far. A radiant example.

We are challenged again and again to differentiate between truth and illusion. We have to set our priorities so that the spiral of development turns upwards instead of downwards.

Watching others is a great chance to learn - specially when these examples stand for spiritual truth.

This planet Earth gives us wonderful opportunities to compare, to learn, to realize because of the countless games played out at the same time.

You wanted something wonderful?
It's even more than that: It's a MIRACLE, when someone wakes up to his/her inner truth.
The chances are offered on this blue jewel! We can take it!

This is why I honor this planet so much.

Here's one -- if what we are posting here is to prove this world is worth saving -- music & dance , Earth human style, has to be one of the best things we can give to the Universe [will someone kindly re-post w/the video?]
