How Can We Help?

“We do not Inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we Borrow it from our Children.” -Native American Poverb

We participated in Craft Hope’s Project 8 this week. I cut up some old rags and sewed them into appropriate size squares with ribbon loops for hanging. As I was doing this my children were napping and I was trying my hardest to focus on putting out “good thoughts” into the Cosmic Soup for all who are suffering from the Gulf Coast Oil spill animals and humans alike. It was a small, easy way to feel helpful.

I also found this the other day as I was wandering through the blog-o-sphere. Check it out you might be inspired to contribute some “help” as well.

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter…to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”
~ John Burroughs

“It’s a very fragile world, she told us So we walk carefully everywhere we go and we promised to remember as long as we could.”
