A sheep who has gone unshorn for years could be sporting a record-setting wool coat.
Katie Sargent reports. Is this sheep the wooliest in the world?

Shaun the merino sheep was found wandering the Tasmanian countryside over
the weekend, sporting this unusually heavy wool coat. He’s likely never been shorn

 

We must maintain reserve in our relationships until the coming to meet is mutual.  Maintaining “reserve” is the correct action (or nonaction) during turbulence and communication breakdown

Coming to meet halfway is possible only between people who are mutually honest and sincere in their way of life.  It is the great joy of such relationships that they are full of mutual trust and sensitivity

When a person returns to the path of “responding correctly” (being open and receptive) we likewise go to meet him (or her) halfway, rather than tell him he is doing things correctly. In this way he comes to relating correctly from his own need to relate correctly and we do not force it on him.  Our consistence and discipline in feeling out each moment and responding to it does the work. Source: artrosengarten

We’re not passengers on Spaceship Earth, we’re the crew.
We’re not just residents on this planet, we’re citizens.
The difference in both cases is responsibility.

~Russell

Love means wishing others to be happy. Love is about what we give not what we get.

Practice doing something for someone each day with love alone. Do it without expecting anything in return. Do it without anyone knowing it. For example, you can pray for your friends or family members who live far away. You can send email, text, or a letter to someone whom you have not been in touch with for quite a while. Give compliments to other people. You can give a smile to a stranger passing by. You can pet your dog or cat. Do small things with great love each day. And watch your heart expand to more love.

People who lack compassion, love, and forgiveness suffer a lot.
When you can forgive, when you can accept, you feel light,
you can relate to other living beings.
Without compassion, you are utterly alone.
That is why compassion is the ground of happiness.

From Jim Stenson, Life is full of special moments, open your eyes, open your mind and most of all, open your heart, you will see. I found this video online, I did not film it but I thought it was so special I had to put a song behind it. To me, the female Lab is trying so hard to befriend the child. The boy is cautious but curious at the same time. The person who filmed the original video contacted me in January 2013 She is the mom, her name is Ana, her sons name is Hernan, and the dogs name is Himalaya. Watch when the dog puts her paw on the boys shoulder as if to say, I love you, everything will be ok. If your heart doesn’t melt your not human. FYI: THE TEXT in the video was INSPIRED BY a beautiful little DS girl I met. She said to me “God didn’t make a mistake when he made me” and her daddy told her, she was a “Gift from God”.
