During this time, a friend and I had a very insightful conversation about how the different the world would be if every single person at this concert picked up one piece of trash on their way out of the park. This lead to many more hypothetical situations such as:
what if every person in this park....
- donated blood tonight
- wore their seatbelt every time they got in a car
- became an educated voter and exercised their right and privilege to vote
- carpooled to work on Monday
- turned off the water while brushing their teeth
- called a long-lost friend this weekend
- stood up for their beliefs
Perhaps as adults, we can justify sitting around on a Friday evening talking about how we'd like to change the world. I suppose there's no need to justify this type of conversation but it got me thinking, and that's normally a good thing.
I have a friend who has a list of "10 Thoughts on Whole Living" on her wall at home and I think it applies to my conversation tonight. Perhaps you'll enjoy it and hopefully be able to check some things off your list.
"10 Thoughts on Whole Living"
- Inspiration can't be rushed. Learn to linger.
- Love for the earth begins with a sense of wild.
- The spiritual and the physical cannot be separated; you need one to experience the other.
- Never underestimate the power of pen and paper.
- Alignment comes naturally. Balance cannot be achieved by force.
- Yoga is more than a series of poses; it's an approach to life and to the world around you.
- Let your breath bring you back down to earth.
- Fun is not an occasion - it's a way to live your life.
- True relaxation is productive; it helps keep you whole.
- Admit to yourself what you don't know, and you begin to evolve.
I think my favorite is number 8...
Live a FUN life....and do your part!
