THE ESSENCE SHOW - May 31st, 2009 Episode 75

The ESSENCE RADIO SHOW

Host Kara Johnstad

"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black curious eyes of a child, our own two eyes. All is a miracle-" Thich Nhat Hanh - Vietnamese Monk, Activist and… Continue

I uploaded the "Show your Smile" video 11 months ago, and over 280 YouTubers have made video replies since then. That's over 280 different smiles. This video is a compilation of 100 of those smiles and if it doesn't…

To all the Belgians out there

Dear fellow Belgians (I hope there are a few on this forum),

Please let me share with you an interesting and courageous initiative I've discovered recently. Our country is being weakened by absurd disputes between the different communities and language groups. These disputes have worsened over the past months and are more and more frequently turning into real hatred and anti-democratic behaviour. We have much more urgent topics to address than the endless disagreements on the way our… Continue

REAL BEAUTY

"Real beauty isn't about symmetry or weight or makeup; it's
about looking life right in the face and seeing all its
magnificence reflected in your own."

Practice a Compassionate Life!

Practice a Compassionate Life!

“Feel the pain of others. Understand their strengths and disappointments their hardships and inadequacies and open your heart to them. Realize that everyone is doing the best they possibly can. Judge no one. But rather, cradle all humanity in your heart.”

My Friends,

One of the most important things I have practiced in my life is Compassion. Compassion for every person I meet, from a street person begging for money to a wealthy… Continue

I come before you........

I come before you in a humble manner

and offer you this sacred pipe.

With tears in my eyes

and an ancient song from my heart

I pray.

To the four powers of Creation,

to the Grandfather Sun,

to the Grandmother Moon,

to the Mother Earth,

and to my ancestors.

I pray for my relations in Nature,

all those who walk, crawl, fly, and swim,

seen and unseen,

to the good spirits that… Continue

Environmental Policing for ATV 4 Wheelers dirt bikes

I am a resident of the smallest state, The Ocean State, Rhode Island. We have beautiful places of widerness here. I know people personally who go into the woods and the Wetlands with their jeeps and 4 wheel vehicles and tear it up: Gunnar Carlson of Warwick. It is wrong if any of you true environmentalist have faith in how the Earth needs to be treated perhaps you will contact this person and ask him to stop the distruction. I have asked him several times and have reported him to The DEM. I… Continue

POEM ON PEACE AND WAR

Peace and War

Peace is the gentle healer

Panacea to festering wounds

War is the vicious killer

Death's poison with no bounds

Peace, like the fertile valley,

Nurtures life-giving bounties

War, like a volcanic fury

Spews infernal fiery ashes

Peace is like caring parents

It makes the globe void of fears

War is like sorrow's agent

it makes our world full of tears

Peace fills the earth with goodwill

And… Continue

achievements are delusions,

possessions are just ideas

With your own eyes and heart you can see;

all things pass away as if they never were, death takes the carbon away into forever

We are like the flame that burns away the log, the fire that eats… Continue

Hi Friends...

Trust Now

Many are restless and not at peace due to fear and worry of wars and personal conflicts as well as financial difficulties. Since time began mankind has had these worries and many feel a loss of security. The question we pose to ourselves is 'In what can we put our Trust to feel secure?"
