Being the change I want to see

"Your vision will become clear
only when you look into your heart.
Who looks outside,
dreams.
Who looks inside, 
awakens."
~ Carl Jung

I'm still enjoying my silent summer, and I feel it has changed me for the better to be silent and listen to the world around me.  But most of all, I've also been listening intensely to my heart.  This simple change in what I've been focusing on has helped me immensely to clarify who and what and how I want to be for the rest of my life.

I'll be sharing more here as these shifting thoughts turn into action.  Once I figure it all out, that is!

In the mean time, here's a sad, yet hopeful, video which my dear friend Julie Mitchell shared on her blog today.






"What are we doing?
How can we allow this?
What is going on?"
~ Julie Mitchell



"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics,
which is the goal of all evolution.
Until we stop harming all other living beings,
we are still savages."

~ Thomas Edison
