When something is just simply good.

The other day, in Montreal, after a three-month tour in Europe, I was visiting good friends who had just welcomed their second child into the world.  Their one-year-old daughter also graced the place.
These are friends with whom I feel a deep gratitude and fondness. 
I was holding one-week-old Matthew as he slept, and in such peace, let the soft, wonderful warmth of his presence soothe me.  My cells sighed a sigh of relief.  
I am a person who is wracked with internal moral dilemmas.  I dread being in the ethical wrong.  Ethical vagueness challenges me.  So when something can just feel like it can't in itself  be bad, I welcome it.   This is a family in which love, partnership, nurture, conversation and good humour flows.  It is good. Plain and simple.

This is my friend Leora Rosner.  I met her in Amsterdam and stayed with her family, in which, too, love, partnership, nurture, conversation and good humour flow.   
This is Leora's rooftop garden. She is a strong and passionate advocate for greening. She is right. Plain and simple. Of course she is right.   She is taking her values and passion and trying to build something, to share it.  This cannot in itself be a bad thing, and that moral clarity is refreshing.  So is her garden.  Check out her website: https://www.facebook.com/GrowingAirFoundation


Point is: There are people that I'm meeting every day who are working tirelessly to actually make the world a better place through creativity, loving action, compassion, and faith. It is refreshing. It is good.
 There is so much grief every where you turn, it is uplifiting beyond words to encounter these people doing these things.

Embrace it!

Oh, and give someone a hug!
