Be merry.

By



This is not about good behavior but about being merry, seeing the beauty and goodness of life, in spite of all the bad stuff. It is painful when what we love or value is taken away, yet the longing for what we know is good continues to call us into life. This season is honoring the return of the light and the new beginnings it portends.

It’s a good time to consider what aspects of our celebrations we really care about, what helps us connect with something greater than ourselves, how we can best show our love, what gives this season meaning, and where in it we find beauty and light. Maybe it’s possible to let go of the pressure we put on ourselves to produce wonder and delight, and be more open to the real experience of it.

May that light shine out from the heart of all our celebrations.

If government is failing at bringing peace between two countries through peace talks and discussions, it’s their failure. That doesn’t mean, discussions and peace talks aren’t the solution. #Humanityf...

Roots and Values!

Importance of root as a major determinant of the success or otherwise of any tree or person cannot be overemphasized. And root quality is further determined by its nature (tap or fibrous), which further determines how much minerals/nutrients they could tap from the soil or social network in case of persons. While plants may not be able to do much to enhance their roots, individuals can through knowledge and skill acquisition. What you are and where you came from, keeps us grounded and we need our individual differences and unique perspectives to be able to see through, understand and love this complex world as it is. Never forget where you came from – because that will help you get where you’re going. -Harshita Saloni
