On the Dawn of a New Week :-)

It has been quite a week.    I saw with fascination as China launched its' first lunar mission.  I also am in awe as people power continues to assert its' ever growing power in Thailand and Ukraine.    Although it is exciting, it also presents new and unforeseen challenges.      This is as Syria continues and the carnage in Iraq is ever so more.   I cannot understand why suicide bombers attack funerals.

I did take comfort in this thought from the Buddha:

We are shaped by our thoughts;
we become what we think.
When the mind is pure, joy follows
like a shadow that never leaves.
- The Buddha  

That sense of purpose and focus should be the driving force constantly and consistently.     Only a hope for a better tomorrow should drive us--Is there any other choice?

Onward w/the new week:
