Hundreds and Thousands

Recently I made two new commitments. The first was with a group of people from nine different countries who have commited to meditate every day for 100 days. We are represented here from Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, the Netherlands, UK, US and Canada.

Jean has commited to walk 1,000 miles in 2006, and I've decided to join her ... she's in England and I'm in Canada. This may be too ambitious for me, but I'll give it a try

The One Thousand Cranes is a project I started ten years ago when my son was in hospital. Based on the story "Fold Me a Thousand Cranes" written about the young girl in hospital in Hiroshima after the atom bomb. And I've been folding paper cranes since then ... by now upwards of 3,000.
