My read at the moment, educating myself with the many forms of Mental illness's that surrounds a lot of people young to old ....It has made me more aware and understanding of the people who do suffer and need help and support from the people close to them,
also an opportunity for me to photograph the book and share with you good people on Flickr

Our Daily Challenge ... compassion.
This is a composite of three shots. The pigeons were taken today but the ducklings are from a couple of weeks ago. They had wandered off from their parents and so were at risk without protection from the adults. Unfortunately only a few days later they were all gone ... taken by any one of many possible predators. The young of any species need adults to protect, guide and teach them life skills. Human children are no different from baby ducklings, without care they will be lost. It is the responsibility of all of us to look out for them if they are at risk and take appropriate action not just turn a blind eye.
Advice for folks who want to help the planet. If you want to be a good teacher, don't come into class and curse the kids because they can't read. Instead, start with the A, B, Cs. Believe me, many of our brothers and sisters are still in first grade.
Forget-Me-Nots. Hudson Mills Park.
Dooley and I took a quick run through Hudson Mills Park last night. Every time we go, which is pretty often, we are treated to newly blooming wildflowers. Last night the Forget-Me-Nots caught our attention, unassuming and so pretty in their smallness. Grouped together they make a sweet statement in the landscape.
In a world full of insecurity and troubles, how nice to consider the pleasures we can enjoy on a simple walk. There is plenty for which I am thankful today. Not the least is that I know so many people who work to alleviate the sufferings of others. All of us are broken and in need of something. Be that something for someone else today.

The Hayward Public Library’s “Book-to-Action” series features the extraordinary and inspirational story of Infinite Vision: How Aravind Became the World’s Greatest Business Case for Compassion by Pavithra K. Mehta and Suchitra Shenoy. Based in India, the Aravind Eye System is the world’s largest provider of high-quality eye care, with surgical outcomes equal to or exceeding those in the developed world at less than one percent of the cost, treating more than half of its patients free of charge, and taking no grants or donations. Aravind’s model is so successful that it has been the subject of a popular Harvard Business School case study, has garnered multiple prestigious awards, and has been replicated internationally.
The Book-to-Action program is a variation on the traditional library book group – it offers participants not only the opportunity to collectively read and discuss a book and meet a book author, but to put their newfound knowledge or perspective into action by engaging in a community service project related to the book’s topic. Thanks to a grant from the California State Library, the library is offering a limited number of free copies of the book, available to community members interested in participating in this program. Read about Dr. “V”, the man who, in his late 50s, built the Aravind Eye Care System, and explore the distinctive philosophies, practices, and commitments that are the keys to its success.
Book Discussion: Wednesday, March 14
6:30 p.m. @ Hayward Main Library, 835 “C” Street in downtown Hayward
Join local residents to discuss the book, which tells the story of the Aravind eye care system. Share with other readers your favorite aspects of the book, and pose questions you’d like to discuss. Get ideas about how you can get involved in “pay-it-forward” projects in the Bay Area.
Meet Infinite Vision Author and Filmmaker Pavithra K. Mehta
Saturday, March 17, 2 p.m. @ Main Library
Pavithra K. Mehta comes from a family of 21 (and still counting) eye surgeons, including the legendary Dr. V, her granduncle. Pavithra is drawn to the space where service and story-telling meet. She started Aravind’s story archive in 2002, while freelancing on film and writing projects for nonprofits in India. Later she headed the volunteer program at Benetech, an innovative nonprofit in Silicon Valley, which runs the world’s largest digital library of accessible books for people who are blind. She is currently on the board of the Aravind Eye Foundation and Service Space ( www.servicespace.org/ ), an organization rooted in inner change that designs and runs experiments in generosity. She co-leads its inspiring news portal, DailyGood, as well as its pay-it-forward restaurant, Karma Kitchen, and is working on her next book. Pavithra studied English literature and broadcast journalism. She lives in the Bay Area with her husband and travels back to Madurai each year.

The girls wanted to do two boxes each for Operation Christmas Child. They have done OCC now for three years (since Sophia was 3 1/2 years old and Olivia was 1 1/2 years old).
This has become a tradition, and something the girls really enjoy doing (from picking out the gifts to sorting them to packing them in the boxes).

Saka Dawa is the special month in which Buddha’s conception, birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana (Death) all occurred. In particular, the full moon day, or 15th day of the fourth month, marks the holiest day in Buddhism. It is believe to be a very auspicious month to perform meritorious activities on this specific day and month.
And because of this belief, Buddhists spends this month and especially the full moon day in circumambulating temples and monasteries, giving alms to beggars, sacrificing animals from butcher house, not eating meat and performing good deeds only. The limitation of how much one does good is boundless and therefore people indulge themselves in making other people happy only.
May Buddha bless all human kind with peace, love and compassion.
May every day be Saka Dawa for all sentient beings
