BE THE CHANGE
'Be the change that you wish to see in the world.' Mahatma Ghandi
The weekend boded well when I realised there would be 5 of us from EfM and then found there was also someone from the previous year too. From the moment this weekend commenced I felt absolutely safe.
It was, for me, an emotional roller coaster from start to finish. Taking me down into deep despair about the state of our planet and the role played by me and the rest of humanity, to a place of hope and inspiration and a fire and passion to be the change however small a part I could play.
There was so much evidence, so many statistics, that shocked me. One in particular was the statement:
If you have food to eat, a bed to sleep in, clothes to wear and a roof over your head, you are better off than 83% of the planet.
