Greetings
Designers,
In contemplating what I want to share with you, I find that the Pulitzer Prize winning author, Alice Walker, expressed my feelings in words far more eloquent than my own. I share this excerpt with you, as something that inspires me, motivates me, and gives me hope for mankind. I feel that this is a message for all of us, regardless of our political beliefs:
."Be wise. Treat yourself, your mind, sympathetically, with loving kindness. If you are gentle with yourself, you will become gentle with others."
-- Lama Yeshe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Letter from Alice Walker to Barack Obama
I would advise you to remember that you did not create the disaster that the world is experiencing, and you alone are not responsible for bringing the world back to balance. A primary responsibility that you do have, however, is to cultivate happiness in your own life.
To make a schedule that permits sufficient time of rest and play with your gorgeous wife and lovely daughters. And so on. One gathers that your family is large. We are used to seeing men in the White House soon become juiceless and as white-haired as the building; we notice their wives and children looking strained and stressed. They soon have smiles so lacking in joy that they remind us of scissors. This is no way to lead. Nor does your family deserve this fate. One way of thinking about all this is: It is so bad now that there is no excuse not to relax. From your happy, relaxed state, you can model real success, which is all that so many people in the world really want. They may buy endless cars and houses and furs and gobble up all the attention and space they can manage, or barely manage, but this is because it is not yet clear to them that success is truly an inside job. That it is within the reach of almost everyone. "We are the ones we have been waiting for."
In Peace and Joy,
Alice Walker
Enjoy.
