thank you again Lisa - Take care of our home...take care of each other xxx I have a great admiration for Carl Sagan; one of my first influential astronomers and a scientist who refused to sign up for SCICOP in the 1980s please take a look at this short video today if you need a little inspiration and please read Pinker’s, The Better Angels of Our Nature, if you need a little hope and please follow these words from Einstein of you need a little guidance or a reminder why compassion is an important path for each of us to follow ... ‘A human being is part of the whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself part of the liberation, and a foundation for inner security’. Albert Einstein
