Inner Peace

"Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries
or with those who have been appointed
or elected to do a particular job.
It lies with each of us individually.
Peace, for example, starts within each one of us.
When we have inner peace,
we can be at peace with those around us."

HH the Dalai Lama


Isn't it interesting how most children seem to have inner peace? I believe Simon has inner peace that he shares with those around him. What a blessing.

This photo was taken by Al McDougall on 3/3/07, during Simon's visit with us, at our place on the Oregon Coast. The photo was taken from the yard outside, with Simon looking out the window at the view of the ocean and the two gigantic Spruce trees on the ocean side of the yard.
