Tara the two-month-old elephant tries to give a hug but it’s more like a loving trample.

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.

 ~Thich Nhat Hanh
