Bhookh - a Click Site for Hunger in India Click every day to help the hungry. ">http://www.bhookh.com/

Some pertinent quotes: "The chronic hunger and malnutrition that afflicts 300 million children worldwide does not create the dramatic media coverage of a tsunami, but it causes far greater suffering." James T. Morris, WFP Executive Director --

"The number of people who fell prey to Hitler's insanity was 6 million and the 'silent holocaust of hunger' is killing over 13 million people every year." Sanhati --

"Estimates of general undernourishment - what is sometimes called protein-energy malnutrition - are nearly twice as high in India as in Sub-Saharan Africa." Amartya Sen, Nobel Prize winner --

We can all help by clicking every day.

YOUR COSMIC ROLE (courtesy of Anita Richelieu)

What you and I do and think counts! What we are counts.....we are an integral part of a mighty whole. What we know in our finite center broadcasts itself throughout the Universe.......Whether we like it or not we are taking part in a continuous creation.

Stray dogs seemed to be all over the city.

"And homeless near a thousand homes I stood,And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food."~Wordsworth

BIOENERGY HEALING A LA ZDENKO DOMANCIC, WORLD-RENOWNED HEALER. WATCH IT. IT COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I HAVE LONG BELIEVED IN THIS TYPE OF HEALING.

The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers, and cities; but to know someone who thinks and feels with us, and who, though distant is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze, but as they sway they connect at the roots. ~ Rumi

Attitudes (Attitude is Everything)
When you extend pure love to everyone with selfless motivation that is an attitude of kindness. When you send good wishes and pure feelings to those who are in deep sorrow, that is an attitude of mercy. When you see the virtues rather than the weaknesses in people that is an attitude of compassion. When you bless and uplift someone even as they defame you, that is an attitude of forgiveness. When you tolerate a situation and take responsibility as well as give cooperation even when not appreciated, that is an attitude of humility and self-respect. Every second, every moment and every breath of your life is nurtured by attitude.
