     “If one tiny flower can scent the grasses around it, then the scent of a million tiny flowers may be carried by the wind to the far corners of the world. Those of us who are praying, blessing, thinking, and acting with the spirit of love in our daily lives are already beginning to have an influence, subtle but growing, in a number of countries, because of the very nature of our focus and because we are a tiny flower among thousands of tiny flowers all emitting the same perfume-the essence of loving and powerful love.

     With almost no resources and very few numbers, we are affecting a whole lot of people for the better. We have barely begun, but we have begun. The world is changing rapidly all around us, and it is changing as a result of inner forces and not outer ones. People in far distant corners of the world are inhaling the fragrance of our tiny flowers and doing things once thought impossible.

     Whenever the senseless violence, epidemics, tragedies, and pollution of the world seem overwhelming, open your eyes a little wider and see the increasing good that many individual blooms are creating. Reflect for a while on those who are helping children in other countries to live better and healthier lives; whose inventiveness is increasing communication among all people; who are devising more ways to heal minds and bodies; who are negotiating for peace and understanding between enemies; who are not only keeping an eye on businesses and governments to protect the environment but who are also developing new ways to cooperate with nature rather than exploit her. Give some appreciation, too, to the tremendous increase in the number of comedians making us laugh and to the very existence of a comedy channel on television, however variable the content might be. All over the world, in every country, there are people working hard to make things better. And every positive thought we can have about them helps them.”¹
