I will be a century old in 1,034 days. When I look back on the journey I have been on, I see I was constantly adapting and adopting to the environment. The indigenous environment in which one finds oneself needs to become an integral part of living and learning at the same time. Today we’re using technology that was unavailable at my birth. When I was young we used slate and a slate pencil. That’s no longer the case. Nor do we live using solar energy to create energy transfer. That energy transfer can now be generated in a merry go round and stored in lithium batteries for use in classrooms, streetlights, and homes. In Ghana, this energy is used in lanterns that children take home at night so that they can do their homework in a lantern lit home. These new adaptations create themselves for the new milieu of life…….. What I am describing is part of the longevity we must celebrate and value. Most of you will live beyond retirement age which used to be 65 or younger. That you

After reviewing Piaget’s stages of development, I find that, similarly, in architecture, engineering, and politics, professionals need to understand and practice a DEVELOPMENTAL SEQUENCE. Otherwise, the envisioned goals are difficult to achieve. Thank you to Dr. Piaget and his followers. This requires a holistic view of the dimensions that must be in harmony to have a children’s space open. The Stern Playground in Newton, Massachusetts demonstrates the fulfillment of a much-needed vision and action at this time of turmoil. https://positivepsychology.com/piaget-stages-theory/

Just a few months before her death, Ed wrote this letter to the Queen of England: Dear Madam, I want to thank you for the 60 years you have been guiding a supporting human endeavors. I’m particularly thankful to you and your leadership, since your government passed a law accepting refugee children from Nazi held and invaded territories. I was one of 1,000 lucky children, coming 6 days before WWII broke out. A Quaker community in Ilkley, Yorkshire, provided a group home for boys. Thanks to you and your government, I was able to obtain an affidavit to move to New York in the United States. Cunard White Star Line Britannica took me to New York City, where I landed on April 1, 1940, to await reuniting with my family who had escaped from Germany. Had you and your Parliament passed a forward-looking way of rescuing 1,000 children in need of group homes in England or with families accommodating individual children. Because I’m alive today, through England’s generosity, I have creat

"THE IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE" - Dr. Edgar Klugman

May the poor find wealth, Those weak with sorrow find joy. May the forlorn find new hope, Constant happiness and prosperity. May the frightened cease to be afraid, And those bound be free. May the weak find power, And may their hearts join in friendship. - from An Open Heart: Practicing Compassion in Everyday Life

 Below are 6 heart-warming stories from the Kindertransport   (German for "children's transport") , which   was a British rescue operation that saved 10,000 Jewish children from Nazi- controlled territory. This train took me from Nuremburg to England, where I stayed in a group home with other children escaping the Holocaust. https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/6-stories-of-the-kindertransport

 A sweet voice calls out The caravan from Egypt is here A hundred camels with amazing treasure. Midnight, a candle and someone quietly waking me, Your friend has come. I spring out of my body, put a ladder to the roof, and climb up to see if it is true. Suddenly there is a world within this world, ocean inside the water jar. A king sitting with me dressed as a servant. A garden in the chest of the gardener. I see how love has thoughts , and that these thoughts are circling in conversation with majesty. Let me keep opening this moment Like a dead body reviving. Shams Tabriz saw the placeless one and from that he made a place.                              ~Rumi Rumi's poetry is known in history as a bridge between faiths.

  It's possible to feel wonderful, and energized  by giving and receiving blessings. 1. A blessing is a focusing and a statement of intention and good will. It is a wonderful gift to give to a child, a friend or an enemy. There is no right or wrong way to do this other than asking permission from the person and asking what they would like or need. For example: What do you really need?                        (something big or small)                         (A family need, a personal need) The one who gives the blessing gives their full attention, entire focus on the person and repeats their request. Sharing the Blessing: A blessing is a focusing and a statement of intention and goodwill. The most important gift the blessing holds         is being seen, being heard and tenderly affirmed by the person giving the blessing. A blessing can be given to a child, a friend, a pet or even to an enemy. In our fast paced society this is truly a tremendous gift. 2. How to Seal a Blessing: A verb

 I am alive and awake.  My mind is clear.  I am not afraid.  Things are going well.  I have friends and family, a nice home, interesting work.  I am healthy in body, mind , and spirit.  I have direction, goals, and the means to achieve them.  People respect my judgement, listen to what I have to say.  I feel confident, optimistic, pleased and satisfied.  I feel peace, love, joy, and happiness.  I have adventures, and am learning new things all the time.  I have financial security, due to my good fortune, intellect, and work ethic.  With excellent prospects, I have the potential and probability for much more success and achievement.

 How could a room in your home reflect Global Healing? How about your living room, dining room or kitchen?  The breakfast, lunch or dinner table?  Maybe it's the backyard.  It could even be plants or pets!  Please feel free to think about and add other spaces you frequent and share.   Share your discoveries!  We'd love to hear your discoveries! Here are a couple examples from members of our board: One of my favorite places to be in my house is my bed - I love to spend time with my cat Paxton there. Sometimes I do breathing exercises, a body scan, read a book, watch television, close my eyes and drift into dream land... whatever I do is better with my cat near me. The blankets each have meaning, the orange one on top was made by my paternal grandmother, the next one down is from El Salvador where we lived for three years, under that is a gift from my daughters a wool blanket made by a native American crafts person. Around me are paintings by my daughters, aunt and photos

 So much of our lives are spent in keeping other people out. We have private rooms, private houses, private clubs and so on. Of course, there are times  when everybody needs to be alone. Yet there is a sense in which our size as human beings can be measured by the circles we draw to take other people in. The smaller the circle, the smaller the person. A strong person isn't afraid of people who are different. A wise person welcomes them. By shutting them out we deny ourselves the riches of other people's experience. We starve our minds, and harden our hearts. When we name our brothers and sisters  we draw no circle smaller than the first one ever drawn on the earth.                                                            - Anonymous
