    I just experienced a contemplative moment while listening to this amazing guy.


    When you express from a fearful heart in the now moment, You create a fearful future.
    When you express from a loving heart in the now moment, You create a loving future.

    Have no fear, Be aware and live your lives journey from a compassionate caring nurturing heart to manifest a compassionate caring nurturing future. Billyji


    Peace

    The sea
    Charles Tenet
    The sea
    The sea
    That we see dancing along the clear gulfs
    With reflections of silver
    The sea
    Changing reflections
    Under the rain
    The sea
    In the summer sky merges
    His white sheep
    With angels so pure
    The azure shepherd sea
    Infinite
    See
    Near the ponds
    These big wet reeds
    See
    These white birds
    And these rusty houses
    The sea
    Rocked them
    Along the clear gulfs
    And a love song
    The sea
    Rocked my heart for life

    Taylor Bertolini grew up primarily finding notes filled with love and compassion in her lunchbox. She learned that a few words of encouragement could not only change her life, but the lives of others. That idea followed her to college where she started an organization on the NSU campus called Campus Cursive. When you harness the power of a kind word, you have the power to change lives. Taylor Bertolini is an NSU Junior pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and a minor in Public Health with a certificate in leadership. Taylor has founded and become the fearless leader of Campus Cursive at NSU. Campus Cursive is an affiliate of More Love Letters, a global organization using the power behind social media to write and mail letters to strangers in need all around the world. She grew up Tamarac, FL raised by her devoted mother, who left love notes in lunch boxes and medicine cabinets, among other places; this is the origin from which Taylor believes her love for personalized notes stems. She strongly believes in the philosophy that all the little things in our lives add up, come together, and become something much bigger than ourselves. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

    Susan Wranik, Speaker, Writer, and Medical Professional, spoke at TEDxArcadia University on Saturday, April 1, 2012.

    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Words and a painting that reflects 2020.
    Interesting that Akiane struggled with this painting.
    Great message.

    Beautiful ... isn't it? as well as the image of your avatar ... quite contemplative for the need for admiration, a value of good, an appreciation of nature.

    Flying over the mountains of Romania, it reminds me that our world is so beautiful, Nature is at home all over the world and we are still here.
    I am invaded by the fresh air and the sky, the fog, the clouds, the trees, the peaks come together and my soul trembles.
    A fantastic sunrise in the eternal Romanian spirit floating above the mountains, waiting for nothing but the Beauty of Mother Nature.
    I breathed the air in the pine forests, it is stronger than anything!

    Just the silence and the sound of snowflakes in my garden, which I enjoyed and share here.
    It is not cold at all and some birds are occasionally heard, every year more and more birds remain to spend the winter here, a few years ago, all the birds migrated to warm countries, now I enjoy their presence in winter, and I feed them as much as possible (plant seeds and bread crumbs)

    Because every thread of life counts, write down a million alive earthly places in your heart and go on a journey for at least one of them.

    Jellyfish Lake is a marine lake located on Eil Malk island in Palau. Eil Malk is part of the Rock Islands, a group of small, rocky, mostly uninhabited islands in Palau's Southern Lagoon, between Koror and Peleliu. There are about 70 other marine lakes located throughout the Rock Islands.
