Flower of the Day: 12/04/14
"Children
must be free, and at the same time, they need firm boundaries and care.
But these boundaries must be born from a loving heart that truly sees
the child. They must be born out of respect, and not from the adult’s
wounded child."
Sri Prem Baba

Creating Compassion | December 4, 2014
The idea of creating compassion for our environment, for something
that we take for granted daily—something that, as a human race, we are
just absolutely destroying, for the most part without a care—I think
that connecting compassion to that is really, really powerful.
