fog covered morning peaceful easy day
filled with good conversation, bacon and chai
enjoying the wonder of fresh laundered clothes
"There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million." - Walt Streightiff
One of the things I do daily on the internet is go to the hunger site. Both of quotes today were found on their site.
At this site, at no cost to the user, you have an opportunity to do good with a few simple clicks. With one click under the tab:
Hunger - sponsors donate 1.1 cup of food
Breast Cancer - helps pays for free mammograms
Child Health - helps promote awareness as well as prevent and treat devastating childhood illness through groups such as Mercy Corps
Literacy - sponsors pay for books
Rainforest - protects 11.4 square feet of rainforest.
Animal Rescue - sponsors donate .6 of a bowl of food
Maybe the act doesn't sound like much, but as example the site shows 169,862 cups of (people) food donated yesterday, and 238,234 bowls of pet food.
It's a very easy way to be charitable.
The last line of the Charter for Compassion:
"It (compassion) is the path to enlightenment, and indispensible to the creation of a just economy and a peaceful global community."
"Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children." - Sitting Bull
May we make a more peaceful world for us all
