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
“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

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,
Claire
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.
