  1. Lewis Pugh's courageous effort to bring awareness to the world about global warming was inspirational. It made me cry tears of joy and gratitude for those who have such courage, and tears of saddness for our ignorance. Besides courage, it takes forsight and the intrinsic belief that we CAN act responsibly together to make life giving changes before it is too late. Global Shelter Project has such courage and foresight , bringing us together to share our ideas and to bring attention to the endless possibilities for positive action in hopes of making sure that all people have access to shelter, food, clean water and peaceful communities. It is hard to know where to start, when is seems so complicated... corrupt governments, cultural differences,the need for funding research, etc etc., that it is hard to know where to start. Yet, it seems so simple for us to share our ideas , bring awareness, and take positive action together. Now, let me think... I may need some help...

  2. The tears you cry are welcome rain to those that suffer without the basic needs we bottle, adorn and make monument to in the "developed" world we live in.
    We have so many choices, your tears add to the flow or our collective consciousness. What a relief it will be when that river overflows its banks of narrow mindedness and spills to those dying to taste the sweet surrender of our struggle to exist outside our humanity.
