Allow yourself to stop for a few moments. Empty your mind and let the silence manifest. Quieten down. Imagine an orb floating in the vastness – the planet Earth seen from space. From a distance, it looks like a huge blue sphere, without divisions, without borders.

Come closer and listen to the singing of the birds waking up nature, feel the freshness of the breeze attenuating the heat of the midday sun and the scent of the wet soil after an afternoon rain. Enjoy the tranquility, the feeling of peace.

But on this same orb it is possible to find many other scenes: that of a chaotic locus, the result of the thoughts and actions of its inhabitants.  Everywhere, individuals use intelligence only in their own benefit. They created imaginary lines – called countries – dividing people based on their differences: ethnic groups, languages, cultures, beliefs, and so on; establishing a true battlefield in this world.

Even in this dual scene, it is possible to learn to compose the countless differences in the same direction, in favor of a common goal, the construction of a world of peace. Technology can be used as an instrument to overcome distances and expand the range of action, especially times like this, when physical conditions are adverse. Inner conflicts can be used as a driving force to admit new possibilities and learn.

The observation of the results of experiences, points of admiration, examples left by great minds, can serve as nourishment to an analysis that will provide the expansion of consciousness and reinforces the courage to action a truth that increases at each instant. To work so that thoughts and actions are directed to the benefit of others, for the common good.

And on that path, to remember to look at the sky and recognize that there is always a lot to learn, and realize that you are part of something great! And that being useful in the environment in which you live contributes to your own growth and to the evolution of a whole, of the planet where you live, of the universe through which you navigate in your blue craft.
