Good Things - Compiled by Tatiana Ishwari :: March 27, 2020
Friday, March 27, 2020 at 9:55AM I am inspired to share some good things I have come across this week because we need to continue to laugh, to dance and listen to music, to tell stories, to learn and read, to create, play, grow to connect with each other, and take care of all aspects of our Be-ing. There are many kinds of medicine, and many tools available to us at this time. May there be one in here for you.
Peace and Love,
Tatiana Ishwari

Inspiration: Thinking Like An Island by Michael Ableman of Foxglove Farm, Salt Spring Island.
This was published on the Salt Spring Exchange on March 26, 2020. It is an honest, heart-warming and hopeful account from a farmer’s perspective. As Michael writes, “This is our time to come back home, to support all those who are re-imagining and replanting our island — one seed, one farm, one meal, one individual at a time.”

Music: Gentle World by Robert Wilson
My friend Rob just released this song. It is a gift to the world. I have it on repeat. It's a lullaby. It's a balm to apply liberally. May it bring you ease and comfort.
