I Talk To Strangers

There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met.

- William Butler Yeats -

I Talk To Strangers

One of the first rules parents often teach their children is "Don't talk to strangers." But Robbie Stokes was determined to flip that old life lesson on its head. So, after quitting his job working in the United States House of Representatives, Stokes, now 26, set out on an ambitious backpacking journey around the world in which his aim was to talk to as many strangers -- people of all ages, races and social backgrounds -- as he could. His ultimate goal? To gain invaluable wisdom, experience and knowledge from everyday people. This compelling video shares more. { read more }

An Icebox, A Live Heart And The Man Who Drove & Drove

The human heart, at whatever age, opens only to the heart that opens in return.

- -Maria Edgeworth- -

An Icebox, A Live Heart And The Man Who Drove & Drove

In some ways, it was surprising that any good could ever come of a cadaver, a heart failure and a vehicle with a live heart in its trunk tearing through a crowded city. That it did on June 16, 2014 in Chennai, and that more than 50 people coordinated the whole thing with surreal precision to save a life, could tempt one to use words like ‘miracle’ or ‘aberration’. But in truth, it was already the city’s eighth time this year: a heart transplant made possible by someone’s supreme generosity, a government organ registry’s bureaucratic brilliance and the police’s logistical enthusiasm. { read more }

Sometimes we are the ambulance driver, and sometimes we are the pedestrian, just trying to get out of the way for the ambulance to pass. Both matter. Find a friend and reflect on times when you have been in both roles and how both transformed your awareness of our interconnection.

Today I Will Do Nothing

The true adventurer goes forth aimless and uncalculating to meet and greet unknown fate.

- O. Henry -

Today I Will Do Nothing

"Today I will do nothing..." A rare declaration that just might be an antidote for the frenzy and stress of a fast-paced world and never-ending To-Do lists. Read on for a whimsical and wonder-filled comic from artist Grant Snider detailing the marvelous possibilities that unfold when we dedicate ourselves to the openness of doing "nothing". { read more }

Be The Change

See how much time you can set aside for "nothing" today, and see what happens when you greet it with an open heart.

7 Ways To Inspire Healing After Disaster

Healing yourself is connected with healing others.

- Yoko Ono -

7 Ways To Inspire Healing After Disaster

"From 9/11 to Malaysia Airlines 370 to the Chilean earthquake...the news of a community rocked by tragedy continually reminds us of our collective vulnerability. Who are we as individuals after these calamities? Who are we as a community when the boundaries of civility, safety, and certainty shatter?...We are all individual in our response to trauma, and we are all unique in our recovery process. In the middle, however, we meet within the confines of our community's well-defined culture. In this space we can create significant experiences that allow every type of individual to find ways to release the present pain while also beginning the process of connecting to a new future." Read on to discover seven ways to inspire healing after trauma. { read more }
