How wonderful to introduce the concept of "choice" to one so young!<br /><br />Here in my own life and looking around me at others' lives, both near and distant, I see that the pressure is really kicking in at this time on our planet. It's very painful to experience and to watch... Searching for answers, I've been pondering this quote from the American mystic, Joel S. Goldsmith, lately: <br /><br />"The solution to every situation or difficulty is to be found in your own consciousness."<br /><br />Could it really be so simple?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-41817978068496162692014-08-05T03:53:28.013-07:002014-08-05T03:53:28.013-07:00Thanks!

I was a substitute teacher in my younger days as well, and I tried to take the students/pupils as they were without prejudice and found that I could handle classes that other teachers had given up on. And yes, if we extent this thought of yours to a world scale, to politics and grown-up behaviour, I think the world would have looked quite differently. Less wars and less killing and hate. Thank you, Linda.<br /><br />On a different note: I hope you have had a great summer. I have been away for some time, but it was very nice returning to your wonderful, inspiring blog. Enjoy the last weeks of the summer, Linda!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-90006280651031976882014-08-02T16:07:56.059-07:002014-08-02T16:07:56.059-07:00"Months later, I saw her helping another kid ..."Months later, I saw her helping another kid with his lessons.

I think that what we come up against or for when we talk to others, especially those that we think are so different from us. I must say, too! I do love your photography, these pictures evokes such peace. Indigene Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455343121396299373noreply@blogger.com
