Gandhi and I

 Gandhi did not realize one thing that I have known for a LONG time.  We share a birthday.  Somehow I doubt this would have changed his life, but it has changed mine.  When I realized that we share this day in my teen years I became fascinated with an amazingly kind and influential person.  Learning about him brought me to Thich Nhat Hanh and Martin Luther King Jr as inspirations for Human Rights and my place in this equation.

I wanted to dedicate this day of ours to some thoughts – worth sitting with and repeating daily.
