I had a wonderful time in Shanghai... Tea room in the heart of the city... near the temple park The Heart of the Old Market area Perhaps the hardest working student in the city over an exotic meal "The Bund" a lovely evening stroll on the riverfront
For many years now I have had the privilege of living with men and women with disabilities. I have discovered that even though a person may have severe brain damage, that is not the source of his or her greatest pain. The greatest pain is rejection, the feeling that nobody really wants you like that. The feeling that you are seen as ugly, dirty, a burden, of no value. That is the pain I have discovered in the hearts of our people.
Dear One, Let difficulties and temptations be a sign to encourage you. These mark the path of patience and perseverance. This leads to character, creativity and compassion. From this place of abundant life other will find hope. Your words will feed the hungry. Your actions will quench the thirst for Reality. Let Love
carry your heart guide your mind sooth your soul comfort your body.
Rest on
promises of peace thoughts of glory words of truth whispers of kindness.
Awaken to the joy of a shimmering future. Thrum with enthusiasm for tomorrow. Embrace the the glorious beauty all around.
