Rosling's World [documentary]

I first heard Hans Rosling's talk at TED a few years ago and got really excited. His presentation of his "fact based view" is, not only clear and concise but, very hopeful.

I was just browsing his website and came across this documentary on him. He really is an amazing man.

Here's the video that got me so excited initially.

Alan Watts [onNothingness]

This quote was delivered to my inbox today via wordSmith.org:

"No one imagines that symphony is supposed to improve as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them." ~ Alan Watts

I'd never heard of Alan Watts. So, I looked around, and read and watched a bit, and found this...

I LOVE!!

This is a Happy Moment [wisdomPractice]

March 5, 2011. 96-minute dharma talk in French with Thich Nhat Hanh at Plum Village, France. This is the fifth day of the 5-day French Retreat and the translation is provided by Sr. Pine.

The fifth Mantra. This is a happy moment.

Mindfulness is the source of happiness. Smirti. We should be able to transform any moment into happiness with mindfulness. This moment is worth living. Moment after moment.

I’m here for you. This is the First Mantra. This is for generating your concentrated presence.

My dear, I know you are there and I’m so happy. This is the Second Mantra. To recognize the presence of your lived one. Your loved can be anything.

My dear, I know you suffer and I am here for you. The Third Mantra. Used when you notice something is not right. Not well.

My dear, I am suffering and I want you to know. I’m doing my best. Please help me. The Fourth Mantra. This is the most difficult because it’s when you are suffering and you think you’re loved one is the cause. We want to punish. After you have tried to cool the flames, maybe 24-hours, then you can practice this mantra. Tell him in a calm voice. If you are not able, then write it down.
