When someone means so much

106 June 16, 2014

Distance means so little when someone means so much… Distance never separates two hearts that really care, for your memories span the miles and in seconds you are there. But whenever you start feeling sad, because you miss them, remind yourself how lucky you are to have someone so special to miss.

In every walk with nature

47 June 16, 2014

Wildness reminds us what it means to be human,
what we are connected to rather than what
we are separate from.

Two tornadoes near Wisner, Nebraska

Much of eastern Nebraska, northern Iowa and southern Minnesota remained under a tornado watch as of late afternoon. The entire region was under a "moderate" risk of severe storms through the rest of the day, the Storm Prediction Center reported, with violent tornadoes possible. Full story

Boy on Father's Day visit, 5 others, die in fire

26 June 16, 2014

What a sad story…
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A teenager on a Father's Day visit to Newark to honor his deceased dad died, along with his mother and four others, when a fast-moving fire ripped through a three-story home early Sunday, authorities and the boy's grandmother said.

The blaze broke out at the single-family residence about 4 a.m. and soon spread to another home, the Essex County Prosecutor's office said. Both structures were destroyed.

Iris Sydney, of neighboring Irvington, stood outside the burned-out residence later Sunday, clutching a framed studio portrait of her grandson and his mother. They were supposed to meet her for a Father's Day service at the Solid Rock church, where his father attended services before he died two years ago in a bicycle accident in Newark, she told The Associated Press. But they never showed up. Video and full story

Life Lessons

Comment June 16, 2014

May all Fathers in the world live in Peace and Happiness.
It feels warmer and safer to have a Father home.
I do not need a wealthy father, but a father with beautiful Heart…

You may have thought I didn’t see,
Or that I hadn’t heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we’d grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It’s written on my heart.
Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be
The person I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away…

Animals are full of love

Comment June 16, 2014

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections,
predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal.
Difficult standards for people to live up to.

Mercedes-Benz MLC Interior Snapped For The First Time

Mercedes-Benz MLCMercedes-Benz is back testing its new MLC, the lifted, ‘four-door coupe’ crossover that will challenge the BMW X6 for the title of least utile utility vehicle. We’ve already shown you exterior images, along with a peek at the AMG variant and now, we have our first look at the new Benz’s cabin.

The interior looks like pretty standard fare for Mercedes. The center console sports a similar setup for the COMAND infotainment system as the new C-Class, while we can spot what looks like a sort of terrain management system closer to the passenger’s side.

The centre stack, meanwhile, looks similar to what we’ve seen on other Mercedes products. The dash, meanwhile, features a wide band of brushed aluminum with a leather-lined dash. The steering wheel also looks borrowed from the C-Class.

On the outside, the camo is slightly lighter, offering up more detail around the fascia, where we can see the intakes underneath what look like GLA-inspired headlights. Overall, the look remains largely in line with the Concept Coupe SUV from the Beijing Motor Show.

Wherever We Walk

Comment June 16, 2014

Wherever we walk, whether it’s the railway station
or the supermarket, we are walking on the earth
and so we are in a holy sanctuary. If we remember
to walk like that, we can be nourished and find
solidity with each step. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
You never lose by loving

147 June 16, 2014

Love is understanding each other,
making one to smile, being open and caring.
Love can make you do amazing things
that you did not think were possible.

Shantidevas’ Bodhisattva vows

Should anyone wish to ridicule me and make me an object of jest and scorn why should I possibly care if I have dedicated myself to others?

Let them do as they wish with me so long as it does not harm them. May no one who encounters me ever have an insignificant contact.

Regardless whether those whom I meet respond towards me with anger or faith, may the mere fact of our meeting contribute to the fulfilment of their wishes.

May the slander, harm and all forms of abuse that anyone should direct towards me act as a cause of their enlightenment.
