100 Bowls of Compassion

Washington, DC, like every American city, has a homelessness problem. Do you care? Do you want to help the homeless or would you rather just ignore them? Every year Miriam’s Kitchen, a DC non-profit that offers services and food to the homeless, holds a 100 Bowls of Compassion gala where they tell the stories of their guests and help raise money and awareness about homelessness. Watch this video and submit the name of a friend or family member who “needs to know” about Miriam’s Kitchen and 100 Bowls. This seems like a strange campaign to me but I guess that's the point - to make people think about the issue. Entries are due by April 27, 2009. Mariam's Kitchen will be picking 2 people out of all the submitted names and “bowling” their office, house or car.

So, what do think? Would you send in the name of a friend or an enemy?

Waiting

I will be happily in my after very soon...

reflection

On my career:
You came into this life equipped with great curiosity, a lively, versatile, inquisitive mind, and an urge for constant learning and new experiences. Your most basic inner drive is to communicate, to make connections and association (between people or ideas), and to develop your gift for language and expressing yourself through the spoken or written word. Thus being an intermediary or messenger, a translator, a teacher, a broadcaster, a correspondent, or in some field where you can mix and mingle and interact with a broad spectrum of people, suits you well.
Fascinated by life's seemingly endless variety and the multitude of options and choices available to you, you may flit from one person, job, hobby, or location to the next, restlessly seeking new experiences and stimuli. Even if you do not do this in your outward behavior, inwardly your mind is in constant motion, and you require a healthy dose of variation and mental or social stimulation in your life in order to approach anything resembling contentment. Skimming lightly over the surface of life, however, can lead to a shallowness of understanding and a fluttering away of your energies.

The Journey in a Symphony

No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve in quality as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing it is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them.
