Dear Subscriber,

In Buddhism we are taught to regard all sentient beings as having been our mother at one time or another. Imagining this helps us to develop compassion and kindness toward others.

Mother’s Day (in the USA) is May 8th. To honor your own Mother, or other sentient beings who have shown you this kindness, we offer these suggestions, in a collection of specially-chosen gifts–appealing, thoughtful, or practical. And you’ll find many more on our site.

Happy Mother’s Day!

30 Years of Work Bears Fruit

A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love. — Saint Basil

Good News of the Day:
Thanks to decades-long effort, the variety of fruit-bearing shrubs and trees in Wattles’ common areas is staggering: bananas, mangos, papayas, nectarines, apples, guavas, key lime, dwarf tangerines, olive, figs, Oro Blanco grapefruit, Washington navel oranges, blood oranges, persimmons, pomegranates, Chinese pear, cherimoya, peach, apricot. The list of multicultural delights goes on and on. As head of the tree committee, Thomas and a team of eight are responsible for feeding and pruning the trees and harvesting and distributing the fruit. http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=4461
