When it is all too much, when the news is so bad meditation itself feels useless, and a single life feels too small a stone to offer on the altar of peace, find a human sunrise. Find those people who are committed to changing our scary reality. Human sunrises are happening all over the earth, at every moment. People gathering, people working to change the intolerable, people coming in their robes and sandals or in their rags and bare feet, and they are singing, or not, and they are chanting, or not. But they are working to bring peace, light, compassion to the infinitely frightening downhill slide of human life.










Video about CSOs in Portland
Susan Miller Says:There is a wonderful video documentary about CSOs in Portland. Visit this website http://www.portlandonline.com/CSO/index.cfm?c=dhgch and click on A River Renewed. You will need RealPlayer to view the video. It is a fascinating look at not only what governmental agencies have done, but also covers the involvement of Portland citizens. And Walter Cronkite narrates.
Folks in Portland have done a wonderful job of cleaning their Willamette River. We could do well to learn from their success.
