Spring Reflections 2022
This spring I have been reflecting on joy and in these difficult times I think most, if not all of us, could use more of it. So here are 15 ‘things’ that may help to incline your mind towards joy.
~ Compassion ~
Compassion arises from understanding our connectedness with others. When we appreciate that we are all part of the web of life and that we share so much, compassion appears naturally.
April 22 will be the 52nd anniversary of the first Earth Day, so a reflection on the Earth seems appropriate. But celebrating our planet only once a year doesn’t feel enough to me. I think we should celebrate it not only every day, but every minute of every day.

~ Wise Speech~
Words can destroy relationships and lead to a lot of suffering. And they can also lead to happiness and contentment. So how can we speak in a way that leads to happiness and contentment rather than suffering?
