Another Weekend...

ok so it's been awhile since my last post. what has been going on.. I spent most of Saturday looking over a house I am interested in purchasing. it looks like a good deal except for the condition of the electrical wiring of the house. I want to do some expansions (add a dining room) since the kitchen is too small to have more than 4 people in it around a table.

On another note. has anyone noticed how many people are leaving the CNMI? I mean come on, things will not get better just because you move away. There are problem all over the world and moving just places you into a new environment with new stresses.

Elections are coming up.. Enough Said!!

Work is doing fine. the website I was working on is up. Please feel free to visit. http://www.cnmiwic.org

I have nt gone diving in quite a few weeks. I think that the community of people that I live in is taking for granted that there is more to life that the land. I plan on diving next weekend. Anyone interested in joining me? no destination yet. I hope to link up with a few people I was diving with in the past.

Happy Birthday to Me!!

I was born 32 years ago today. October 18, 1975 on the tiny island of Rota (Luta to you traditionalists) It has been an interesting life so far. Thank you to all of you that are involved in my life in one way or another you each contribute to my development and character in some way or another.

Family, Community, Society, Humanity

If love and agreement are manifest in a single family, that family will advance, become illumined and spiritual; but if enmity and hatred exist within it destruction and dispersion are inevitable. This is likewise true of a city. If those who dwell within it manifest a spirit of accord and fellowship it will progress steadily and human conditions become brighter whereas through enmity and strife it will be degraded and its inhabitants scattered. In the same way the people of a nation develop and advance toward civilization and enlightenment through love and accord, and are disintegrated by war and strife. Finally, this is true of humanity itself in the aggregate. When love is realized and the ideal spiritual bonds unite the hearts of men, the whole human race will be uplifted, the world will continually grow more spiritual and radiant and the happiness and tranquillity of mankind be immeasurably increased. Warfare and strife will be uprooted, disagreement and dissension pass away, and Universal Peace unite the nations and peoples of the world.All mankind will dwell together as one family, blend as the waves of one sea, shine as stars of one firmament, and appear as fruits of the same tree. This is the happiness and felicity of humankind. This is the illumination of man, the glory eternal and life everlasting; this is the divine bestowal.

How interesting that ideas that develop the Micro (small) can also be applied to the macro (large). I believe that we we each strive to love with our individual families and practice honesty and honor with our families we can affect the entire community and from there the world.
