Week 17
It is only when we find peace within that we will be able to live in peace with our environment. ~ Dalai Lama
Teachers of all sorts remind us that our drive to change the world (and other people) can unintentionally create great suffering. The world around us is a reflection of our inner world. To reject an experience, condition, or person is to reject ourselves. This week, can you find peace within by turning toward what you want, rather than pushing away that which you don’t want?

# We can harvest seeds in weeds that are native to the land for our food supply of necessary complex carbohydrates (and they taste AWESOME).”
