WALK SLOWLY
Life close to nature has taught me to walk slowly. Humans are the only beings on this planet who wear a watch. There is no one who can rush the flowers, nor the rain. While the technology exists to do so, this only satisfies the times of humans, not other species. Nor i...

VULNERABLE LISTENING
Having grown up at the foothills of the Himalayas replete with litchi orchards, life has been full of encounters with inhabitants of the mountains, each one carrying a different shard of my ancestors. I speak with them — to the moths that would go to sleep...

NO SITUATION IS PERMANENT
In times of hardship and uncertainty, I find my hope by affirming that no situation is permanent. I try as much as possible to keep my head held up high and try again when I fail. I believe in perseverance and this makes me work harder to achieve the life I want. Hope a...

RESPECT THE HABITAT OF EACH BEING
My non-human teachers teach me to respect the habitat of each being, the need to have a home where to live in peace and safety, to be free, to have good health. Empathy is a quality that we must develop as much as possible to understand other human and non-human beings....
