A tired lumber jack

Dear Readers,

It is so easy to get caught up in the normal madness of our busy lives. What makes "busyness" such a crazy place is the fact that we lose sight of how equally easy it is to get out out of it.

The following little story, adapted from Anthony de Mello, elucidates this exquisitely:

There was once a lumber jack who was always tired. He wasted his time and depleted his energy by chopping with a dull axe. Asked why he would do that, he answered, "I don't have the time to sharpen my blade."

I just received the link to the following YouTube Video from a friend:

Indulge in beautiful pictures of the universe, the constellation of planets, and sacred geometry!

Watching it made me feel lighter!

Dear fellow humans and aspirants in peace,

The crash of the stock markets and the increasing unemployment rate add to the financial worries of many of us.
The beloved Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist, invites us to look at the financial crisis from a different perspective.
