Somehow here in the USA we seem to require more hours of work and give less time off than other countries. There must be a way to find solutions so that your employees do not leave due to burn out. All families deserve time together, no-one should be left out. I hope that our society starts looking into this situation and create better working conditions and relations between employers and employees.

An understanding of the natural world and what’s in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.

David Attenborough

 

Look after the land and the land will look after you, destroy the land and it will destroy you.

Aboriginal Proverb

 

Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness.

Eckhart Tolle

 

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver. Martin Luther King Jr.

Even if you never have the chance to see or touch the ocean, the ocean touches you with every breath you take, every drop of water you drink, every bite you consume. Everyone, everywhere is inextricably connected to and utterly dependent upon the existence of the sea.

Today is the 24th Valentine's day of February, and what better time to share my love of travel? Through travel, one learns how other people live, their traditions, lifestyles, climate, food, arts, and many new and interesting ways to live and look at life somewhat differently. Travel gives one a whole new education.

Passenger | Anywhere (Official Lyrics)

The Road Not Taken

Robert Frost

 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear,

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

 

A Strip of Blue

Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

 

I do not own an inch of land,

But all I see is mine, –

The orchard and the mowing fields,

The lawns and gardens fine.

The winds my tax-collectors are,

They bring me tithes divine, –

Wild scents and subtle essences,

A tribute rare and free;

And, more magnificent than all,

My window keeps for me

A glimpse of blue immensity, –

A little strip of sea.

 

Richer am I than he who owns

Great fleets and argosies;

I have a share in every ship

Won by the inland breeze,

To loiter on yon airy road

Above the apple-trees,

I freight them with my untold dreams;

Each bears my own picked crew;

And nobler cargoes wait for them

Than ever India knew, –

My ships that sail into the East

Across that outlet blue.

 

Sometimes they seem like living shapes, –

The people of the sky, –

Guests in white raiment coming down

From heaven, which is close by;

I call them by familiar names,

As one by one draws nigh,

So white, so light, so spirit-like,

From violet mists they bloom!

The aching wastes of the unknown

Are half reclaimed from gloom,

Since on life’s hospitable sea

All souls find sailing-room.

 

The ocean grows a weariness

With nothing else in sight;

Its east and west, its north and south,

Spread out from morn till night;

We miss the warm, caressing shore,

Its brooding shade and light.

 

Not all those who wander are lost.

J.R.R. Tolkien

 

To travel is to live.

Hans Christian Andersen

 

Take only memories, leave only footprints.

Chief Seattle

 

Do not follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.

Cesare Pavese

 

Travel early and travel often. Live abroad, if you can. Understand cultures other than your own. As your understanding of other cultures increases, your understanding of yourself and your own culture will increase exponentially.

Tom Freston

 

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Maya Angelou

ABBA - Ode To Freedom (Lyric Video)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtNJybve8j4

 

Freedom

Freedom will not come

Today, this year

Nor ever

Through compromise and fear.

 

I have as much right

As the other fellow has

To stand

On my two feet

And own the land.

 

I tire so of hearing people say,

Let things take their course.

Tomorrow is another day.

I do not need my freedom when I’m dead.

I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.

Freedom

Is a strong seed

Planted

In a great need.

I live here, too.

I want my freedom

Just as you.

Langston Hughes

 

There are people who've said that I'm being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage, gay adoption... With all due respect, I humbly dissent. I am not being brave, I'm a decent human being... Love is a human experience, not a political statement

Anne Hathaway

 

But laws alone cannot secure freedom of expression; in order that every man may present his views without penalty there must be a spirit of tolerance in the entire population.

Albert Einstein

 

Freedom is like a bag of sand. If there is a hole anywhere in the bag, all the sand will run out. If any group of our people are denied their rights, sooner or later all groups stand to lose their rights. All the freedom will run out.

Robert Patterson

 

Every subject's duty is the kings;

but every subject's soul is his own.

IMAGINE. (Ultimate Mix, 2020) - John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band (with the Flux Fiddlers) HD

www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkgkThdzX-8

 

It is hard to believe that John Lennon wrote and sung this song so many years ago, in 1971 to be exact, with the desire for world peace and we seem to be no closer, perhaps even further, what is wrong with us? Why do we like war? War separate us, destroys relationships, villages, cities, countries and only gives us pain and misery, so why go to war?

 

We can bring our children up to love one another, that is how they are born. We teach them hate and hate destroys as much as war, if not more.

 

Please friends around the world let's follow John Lennon's strong wish for love and peace, our world would be far better off, all of our children would be happier too.

It Makes Life So Much Better, giving more opportunities for friendship, sharing special occasions, travel, learn, play, and explore together. Many times it gives us the opportunity to understand and enjoy different traditions and become more aware of the need to reach out and embrace our differences which life is all about. The more we know and understand the better it is for us and others. Sharing knowledge and friendship gives us more reason to be happy. Together is always better than alone!

Colorful demonstrations and weekend marches are vital but alone are not powerful enough to stop wars. Wars will be stopped only when soldiers refuse to fight, when workers refuse to load weapons onto ships and aircraft, when people boycott the economic outposts of Empire that are strung across the globe.

Only a country that feels invulnerable can afford political turmoil as entertainment.

Lionel Shriver

 

In its essence, Martin Luther King Jr.'s ‘I Have a Dream' speech is one citizen's soul-searing plea with his countrymen––Whites and Blacks––to recognize that racial disparities fueled by unwarranted bigotry were crippling America's ability to shine as a true beacon of democracy in a world filled with people groping their way through suffocating shadows of political turmoil, economic oppression, military mayhem, starvation, and disease.

Aberjhani

 

We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.

J.K. Rowling

 

Two things are needed to raise awareness: education and love. And these go hand in hand because we can be taught to love.
