MY QUOTE FOR TODAY IS

THE STORY BEHIND IT

Among the hundreds of people were waiting to visit with Mahatma Gandhi were a mother and her young son. When it was their turn, the woman asked Gandhi to speak with her son about eating sugar.

Gandhi asked her to come back in two weeks and said he would talk to the boy then.

She wondered why he didn’t just speak to her son when he was already there, but she complied with his request.

In two weeks they returned, and after waiting for a couple of hours, she was able to approach Gandhi once again.

Hearing her repeated request, Gandhi immediately spoke with the boy, who agreed to begin working to eliminate sweets.

After thanking Gandhi for his wise and compassionate words, the mother asked him why he wanted them to return instead of offering his advice the first time.

Gandhi replied, “Upon your visit two weeks ago I too was eating sugar.”

He explained that he could not speak of or teach her son to not eat sugar if he himself had not taken that journey.

Whatever changes you would like to effect in our society has to begin with you.

Topo Gigio wishes all of you a very Happy New Year!! 

Topo Gigio was the lead character of a children’s puppet show on Italian and Spanish television in the early 1960s. The character, created by artist Maria Perego, debuted on Italian television in 1959 and has been customarily voiced by actor Giuseppe “Peppino” Mazzullo and later Davide Garbolino. The Italian nickname “Gigi” is a derivative of Luigi (“Louis”), so Topo Gigio could be translated as Louie Mouse.

“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”

Oops! Is it Eddie the Eagle?

This bald eagle may look like he’s falling out of the sky – but he’s actually performing a dazzling flying display, flipping upside down in mid air. The talented creature demonstrated his incredible acrobatic skills as he soared at 200 feet.

The extraordinary spectacle was captured on camera by Pam Mullins close to her home in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada. The 49-year-old production manager said she had spent years trying to photograph the incredible acrobatic act and was delighted with her snap.

She added: ‘What you see in that photo happens in a split second, it’s not an accident but an acrobatic maneuver used by eagles for different reasons. ‘Sometimes it’s used when the bird spots a fish or other food – it will do this mid air flip and nose dive towards it.

‘Another reason is a mating ritual: Every year eagle do a dating dance where they clasp talons and free fall towards the ground.

“The young, free to act on their initiative, can lead their elders in the direction of the unknown … The children, the young, must ask the questions that we would never think to ask, but enough trust must be re-established so that the elders will be permitted to work with them on the answers.”
~~Margaret Mead~~

A child named Josef sits on a stone porch outside his home in Chupon, Peru on Sept. 1, 2014. The village lies in the Peruvian Andes in the province of Ayacucho, and houses about 30 peasants who subsist on farming corn and potatoes.

GEISHA GRAFFITI 

Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire. Historic forms of graffiti have helped gain understanding into the lifestyles and languages of past cultures. Errors in spelling and grammar in these graffiti offer insight into the degree of literacy in Roman times and provide clues on the pronunciation of spoken Latin.

Such a tender picture. If two such different creatures can stop their active movement, for a moment in time … and embrace … why can’t humans who have more intellectual capacity?

The reason is because these creatures are pure … they aren’t tainted by the world. The show true feelings of oneness.

Can’t we at least try?
