“Some of us have great runways already built for us.
If you have one, take off.
But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel
and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you.”
~ Amelia Earhart

Here is a great thought for the day. Do what we can to make our world a better place for all of us. What I lack can be made up by the skills and wisdom of others in our concerted and com.passionate efforts
Brilliantly inspiring!
Eva found a great quote and image. I did not realize until recently that Amelia Earhart wrote poetry among her other exploits.
Beautiful. Inspiring too.
Yes, Eva chose a wonderful quote from Amelia Earhart’s work
A wonderful message my friend! Thanks for sharing!
Eva posted a great one that I enjoyed sharing with others. You are welcome Wendell.
Well said, Ivon – and thank you for sharing this re-blog!
Thank you and you are welcome Stefanie.
Millions of people lack a shovel. They have no dirt to call their own. Their lives are already paved over with the runways of a minority of the planet. That minority has to forget the “pull yourselves up by your own bootstrap’ mentality: that no longer applies to reality.
Instead we have to readjust our standard of living and learn the meaning of one word:
SHARE.
Ivon – I’m not saying this applies to you, brother. Just taking an opportunity.
Thanks for your blog!
Peace,

I agree Claire. Some of the digging will have to in the form of an old-fashioned co-operative community. Those who need help up will have to find a way to extend their hands and, then, those ready and able need to reach out. I love the feedback. It is what makes us reflect and contemplate on our words.
