“Blessed is the season that engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love”- Hamilton Wright Mabie
"He that seeks the good of the many seeks in consequence his own good.” -St. Thomas Aquinas
"God loves a cheerful giver." -St. Paul
"Some say that my teaching is nonsense.
Others call it lofty but impractical.
But to those who have looked inside themselves,
this nonsense makes perfect sense.
And to those who put it into practice,
this loftiness has roots that go deep.
I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself, You reconcile all beings in the world."- Lao Tzu
Annie and I wish you all a very Happy New Year and thank you for your love and support. Hope 2013 will bring you much happiness and well-being, joy, contentment and inner peace. This journey we call life, is too short, too unpredictable and too fragile. Thus, let us come together in the time-honoured tradition, declaring our love for each other, our love for nature and our kinship for all living things.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you at our GCGI Paris Conference in August: http://gcgi.info/news/330-gcgi-11th-annual-conference-paris-call-for-presentation-and-participation
With all our love,
Kamran and Annie
