THINKING OF JAPAN

3/19/2011

TRANSLATED:

Don't give up. Just continuing to hold on will yield/reveal strength and power.
Continuing on after a setback is its own kind of strength. Perseverance is power.

Albert with the flag of Japan - by Betsy Seeton

"When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage
by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's
suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful."
~Barbara Bloom

“One who smiles rather than rages is always the stronger.”
~~ Japanese proverb

FOR ALL
THE ANIMALS

One of the best places to nurture the kind of change our world needs, is involving, teaching, and inspiring children. FOR ALL THE ANIMALS offers paid positions for young children ages 8 to 18 who can research, investigate and write about animals and nature. We also want young artists, filmmakers and photographers to apply. Children 7 years old and younger can be our interns.

I imagine a better world when what people value has more to do with what they love doing than about what money can buy. Going after your passions and leading a life inspired by them is central to what drives my own life and is something I encourage others to experience.

"The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious,
awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself."

"By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive.
Impart as much as you can of your spiritual being to those who are on the road with you, and
accept as something precious what comes back to you from them."
~ Albert Schweitzer
