We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.

• The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?
• We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.
