Buddha (560-483 B.C.)

If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.

"Growing up, my parents always said, "You will leave this world the same way you came into it: with nothing." It made me realize that the only things we do in this world that count are those things that make the world a better place for those who will come behind us."
- Tyrone B. Hayes, Biologist and National Geographic Emerging Explorer
That quote made me think of the 5,000 - 6,000 year old embracing skeletons discovered this month and the universal message of love they left for us -- despite life's challenges and despite time, religious, or cultural boundaries.
Peace and love.
