Thank you for posting "The Great Bell Chant in the Mystical Art group Cindy, that is truly beautiful.

Peace.

Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out 'Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?'

The young man paused, looked up, and replied 'Throwing starfish into the ocean.'

'I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?' asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, 'The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die.'

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, 'But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!'

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, 'It made a difference for that one.'

So, can I encourage you to take the time to do something that will make difference to someone else's life ... and it doesn't have to be much and they don't need to know. Just take a moment, do something special ... the universe will know and that's enough.

Aloha Ginger, from Kauai,
I stop short when I see Dalai Lama, Tibet, China and/or Hawaii referenced. Tibet and Hawaii may be two of the most Spiritual places on Earth. In my 35+yrs in the islands, I have been told that Hawaii, in tandem with Tibet, will be the spark of ignition for World Peace...Global Aloha. I am on Carlos' site to share what I feel is a real solution for our New Dawn. I have "received" a multi-media musical production entitled "MU RISING...A Hula Rock Dream". The show takes one through Hawaii's Past (MU), the present, Hawaii's struggle to restore her independence and into the Future as Hawaii becomes a World class model of Independence, Sustainability and Peace; A turning point example the World can follow and pivot towards Peace. Tibet will be released by China and Spirituality will abound as consciousness rises exponentially around the Globe. Polynesian Prophesy suggests that the Land of the MU will rise again thus, "MU RISING". The Hindu believe that MU (Lemuria), at its peak, spanned from Egypt and Tibet to America's west coast...the Hopi, the Mayans, etc. U.S. President Obama was born in Hawaii and has profound relations with the Dalai Lama and Tibet. Although virtually unreported, he wrote a letter to President Bush in 3/08 asking Bush to talk with China's leaders about Tibetan Autonomy and restoring the Dalai Lama to his motherland. I feel Obama is a man of Peace and understands the big picture but, he is being pounded and distracted by the warmongers surrounding him. As you were with 'Renaissance', I was completing an open letter to President Obama: "Another View from the Mountaintop...Obama's Hawaiian Revelation Proclamation sends World Community Spiraling towards Peace". Since you obviously seem connected to the Spiritual energy of Tibet, I'd like to invite you to read this letter at: anotherviewfromthemountaintop.blogspot.com Also, the lyrics and narration to "MU RISING...A Hula Rock Dream" at: murising.blogspot.com
