We think too much and feel too little

Posted on September 22, 2014January 6, 2016 by Lesh

We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

Charles Chaplin

Brilliant Lesh, this is sooooo much better, it feels more authentic ( I’m sure you always were) but there is an old saying, “everything you do is a portrait of you” this coupled with your email seems ‘just right’. Safe travels.

Lesh, I like the new website design and I admire your courage in breaking free of the things that hold you back. From my viewpoint, even when you are feeling lost, you still have courage. Progress is never in a straight line. The important thing is that you keep going and that you are following your heart. I’m certain that we will benefit from that as much as you will. I’m certain that the quality of what you share will be even better than the high quality information you’ve shared with us until now. I hope you have a wonderful visit to Sri Lanka. We have visited Colombo twice and very much enjoyed it. In 2016 we’ll be going to Colombo and another place in the north (don’t remember the name). We’re definitely looking forward to going back.

  Hi Susan, love your thoughts about courage, they are indeed true (about being lost, but still having courage). And thank you always for your kind, thoughtful comments. With love, Lesh x
