“It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth,

and if we can teach our children to honour nature's gifts,

the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.”

And honouring the earth means caring for it. Now there's so much in the news that encourages this care . . . before it's too late for our Mother.

I love the photo of the child sitting in the field of buttercups. As usual it is a lovely quote you have chosen to go with it.

The photo is of our grand daughter Nicole taken about 10 years ago.

How nice, a quote from a fellow Georgian! Love the photo also. It looks like a field of black eye susans.

Tenderness contains an element of sadness. It is not the sadness of feeling sorry for yourself or feeling deprived, but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears. Your eyes are full of tears, and the moment you blink, the tears will spill out of your eyes and roll down your cheeks. In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
