Good For Something

"Be not simply good - be good for something." ~ Henry David Thoreau

I was reminded tonight that I do good works by a friend out on the West Coast who stated that I was always up to something good. That brought a smile to my face.

He is on Vancouver island, in a gorgeous little community that I love, and after seeing David Suzuki last night, I realized anew that there are so many places in this world that I love. Suzuki was inspiring. We are called to do good in this world, to save the earth, to think about how much we consume, to ponder how our current actions affect generations yet to come. I find that I am returning to thinking about these things lately and wanting to be much more responsible than I have been in recent years.

How about you, what does this earth mean to you, and are you helping in its destruction or allowing it space to grow for future generations?

Peace,

Suzanne
