We are travelers on a cosmic journey,<br />
stardust,<br />
swirling and dancing in the<br />
eddies and whirlpools of<br />
infinity.<br />
<br />
Life is eternal.<br />
<br />
We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.<br />
<br />
This is a precious moment.<br />
<br />
It is a little parenthesis in eternity.<br />

Your thoughts,<br />
which you are responsible for, <br />
are as real as your deeds. <br />
You will begin to realize that <br />
every word and every deed<br />
affects your life and has also <br />
touched thousands of lives. <br />
<br />
I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, <br />
and we have to accept the consequences of <br />
every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime. <br />
<br />
There is within each one of us a potential <br />
for goodness beyond our imagining;<br />
for giving which seeks no reward; <br />
for listening without judgment;<br />
for loving unconditionally.<br />

Every year on August 19th we mark <b>World Humanitarian Day</b> in honour of aid workers, who have lost their lives in the line of duty. We commemorate their sacrifice and reaffirm our commitment to the lifesaving work that humanitarians carry out around the world every day, often in difficult and dangerous circumstances, where others cannot or do not want to go. This year our World Humanitarian Day campaign is calling on people to answer a <b>QUESTION</b>: ‘What do you think the world needs more of?’”<br />

Be guided absolutely and entirely by the vision of calmness,<br />
and not by the shadows of anxiety.<br />
The hour of calmness is the hour<br />
of illumination and<br />
correct judgment.<br />
