line drawing of person sitting
a chance to pause for a moment...

It is sometimes good to take a moment to just pause, rest for a moment, and sit to reflect on the sheer joy of just being alive.
This moment is special. There is plenty of time to finish the journey that has brought you this way.....

Some of my Concerns...

(that could use more attention)

World population

Approximate number of people currently living on earth. -->

We must change the way we live (especially US!) if we are to avoid severe problem due to this rapid population growth. By my 75th birthday, there is projected to be over 10 Billion people on earth........

Population on March 15,'97: about 5,884,644,375
Current world population is: current population over 6.1 Billion
  These are mathematically derived estimates See "live" count at: World Pop

Ecology

If we learn ways to tread more lightly on the earth, we will all benefit. One easy way is to eliminate or at least reduce our consumption of animal products. Here is some well documented information on meat production that shows just how big the problem is. More info: Vegetarian Resource Group or International Vegetarian Union.

The Chinese in Tibet

The folks at Milarepa are trying to help.


(some concerns a little closer to my heart)

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) &
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

  

TBI and SCI can happen to anyone at any time. They are caused by automobile accidents, falls, assaults, and other common occurrences. The effect on the survivors and their loved ones is astounding, and the challenges they face are sometimes overwhelming. In some cases, these life-changing injuries can produce a great deal of good.

Domestic Violence

It is sad how many close relationships are the stage for tremendous violence, in repeating cycles that often last generations. These cycles must be broken so those affected can be mended. No child ever grows up wanting to be an abuser or to be abused. More info: Kathy's Resources.

One way that i help to work to prevent more domestic violence is through my work teaching conflict resolution with Peacemakers.
