"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Howard Thurman

Listen to Howard speak about The Dream here. (it takes a moment before he starts speaking, so be patient).

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Howard Thurman

"Μην αναρωτηθείτε τι ο κόσμος χρειάζεται. Αναρωτηθείτε τι σας κάνει να έρθετε ζωντανός, και να πάτε κάνει αυτού, επειδή τι οι παγκόσμιες ανάγκες είναι άνθρωποι που έχουν έρθει ζωντανός." Howard Thurman

世界が必要とするものをあなた自身に尋ねてはいけない。世界が必要とする何を生き生きして来た人々であるので、生き生きして来させる尋ねするそれを行きなさい何があなた自身に。ハワード Thurman

"No se pregunte lo que necesita el mundo. Pregúntese qué hace que usted viene vivo, y vaya hacen el, porque qué el mundo necesita es la gente que tiene vivo venida." Howard Thurman

I was reminded-reminded by the blog by Olga Varlamova.

What is ZEGG?:

We are a community project and an international meeting point for a culture worth living. In living together, studying other cultures, and in cooperation with committed groups, communities and individuals we are exploring the foundations for a non-violent way of living.
Some questions that move us:

• How can we integrate personal development, new ways of living and political engagement to realize a humane world?
• What inner sources and know-how is needed to live ecologically, sustainably and non-violently?
• What social structures do we need in order to make truth among lovers possible?
• Which life forms support the development of our human beauty, compassion and ability to love?
• How is the level of peace in a culture related to its ideals of love?

We look forward to interested guests and mutual inspiration.


The ZEGG Community

Before they left the city, the Athenian generals sent off a message to Sparta. The messenger was an Athenian named Pheidippides, a professional long-distance runner.

According to the account he gave the Athenians on his return, Pheidippides met the god Pan on Mount Parthenium, above Tegea. Pan, he said, called him by name and told him to ask the Athenians why they paid him no attention, in spite of his friendliness towards them and the fact that he had often been useful to them in the past, and would be so again in the future.

The Athenians believed Pheidippides's story, and when their affairs were once more in a prosperous state, they built a shrine to Pan under the Acropolis, and from the time his message was received they held an annual ceremony, with a torch-race and sacrifices, to court his protection.
