The Mother Teresa of Pakistan

Dick Kazan publishes the most inspiring weekly newsletter I have ever seen. I look forward to Tuesdays because I know there will be something in my e-mail from him that will provide insights into a more hopeful world and way of living. Today's edition was no exception, and I feel so strongly about his work that I wanted to share it with you. In the newsletter today he has a link to a video of the man who is called The Mother Teresa of Pakistan. It brings the concept of Love and Service to a tangible level. Please enjoy, and be sure to subscribe to Kazan's free newsletter if you, too, would like to be inspired each Tuesday!

A World of Solutions

 

Directed by Louie Schwartzberg and narrated by Morgan Freeman, this video shows the beauty and natural violence of millions of years of evolution and the impact of humans on this complex system in less than 200 years. However, while we are still in peril, we have the means to solve our problems in the present. Just as mycelium root systems feed all plant life, humans can use modern technology, such as the Internet and mass media for positive change.

Introducing The Plumplets

25 Years ago I did a series of drawings that depicted a group called The Plumplets. For many years they stayed locked away in my file cabinets in spite of prompting from friends to let the Plumplets fly free to bring a smile to the face of those who are burdened by the complexity of the world. I felt they were not politically correct since society was obsessed with body types. Plumplets are actually not meant to depict physical weight, they are light creatures who embody the circle of life rather than the straight line. They include all without exception, and bring a smile to remind us of the childlike sense of wonder that is possible. Finally, in the face of the latest assault to gentility and kindness around the world, I decided it was time to let The Plumplets come into their own.

The Plumplets represent unconditional love, acceptance of all regardless of what or who we are, and a link back to a childlike sense of joy, playfulness, and delight in being an expression of creation. I hope you will enjoy them and share them with those you know who could use a few moments of release from the burdens of the world.
