If we have no peace,
it is because we have forgotten
that we belong to each other.
- Mother Teresa
I wept because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.
- old Persian proverb
Do your little bit of good where you are;
it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
- Desmond Tutu
Let today be a day of acceptance, compassion, and understanding.
Let us feel our bond of humanity with each of our planet's six billion souls.
Put aside color, geography, wealth, education, political and religious beliefs,
and feel the throb of each human heart in your heart.
Never let your compassionate connection with all creation
be limited by your politics, your language, or your traditions.
Know that Spirit transcends all cultural differences and embraces all creation.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Today's Affirmation: I choose acceptance and compassion toward all humanity.
