The beauty of nature, the energy of music and the love that flows so gently softens the heart and the mind stops being judgmental, critical, defensive, hard and brittle. I have always believed it is important to put your heart into what you are doing and do the best you can.
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He (or she) experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as separate from the rest. . . .a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.. . . . .Our tasks must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
-Albert Einstein
Watching the news and seeing all the destruction of the flooding in Australia
and the unrest in so many countries I know I feel helpless. If I try to treat all I meet with respect I can at least start with that. Disappointing and painful day, stiff neck, but I figure it is two steps forward and one back but it is onward! Life is too complex to expect always to be moving forward.

We all want to be loved and healed of negative emotions and use our gifts to bless others. Healed! ! !

Thank you for the pills, right away Peanut slept through the night. Bladder infections are so disruptive.
Oh, and Shawna says you can go ahead and share her news on your blog, as it is only family who reads it and all her family knows now.

Well, another baby - that's always good news! They seem to come in bunches, like Stephen, and Oliver, and Leah were all born in 1980. Seems so long ago.
Love,
Rick
