1 These important words from the Dalai Lama came into my inbox today:
If we are demoralised, sad and only complain, we’ll not solve our problems. If we only pray for a solution, we’ll not solve our problems. We need to face them, to deal with them without violence, but with confidence – and never give up. If you adopt a non-violent approach, but are also hesitant within, you’ll not succeed. You have to have confidence and keep up your efforts – in other words, never give up.
2 After a busy weekend with the Grandchildren, we have come home and decided to decorate the sitting room! As I cleared a bookshelf, the beautiful tooling on the spine of these little books caught my eye.
Golden spines
3 I love this very pale Periwinkle flower, flowering in the bitterest of winds today.

I love the effort put into such a thing as a book spine…why not make something as beautiful as we can…

That saying by the Dalai Lama should be printed and hang on church notice boards, maybe then the congregations will begin to start to do something
