Change and Growth!
East Jerusalem, 25 February 2013
‘The only sure way to avoid making mistakes is to have no new ideas.’ ― Albert Einstein
Today is the day to thank all those who have followed Mindfulness for NGOs over the last 2 years of its start-up phase. The journey continues to be interesting and full of learning, hence the leap into a new home where you are all invited to join!
The new website contains articles and unconventional musings aimed at idealist, free-spirited (and at times ‘slightly jaded’) professionals, who value the importance of reflection and action.
The ‘voyage’ continues with the words of Greek poet Kavafis* in mind:
When you set out for Ithaka
ask that your way be long,
full of adventure, full of instruction.
…
Pray that the road is long.
That the summer mornings are many, when,
with such pleasure, with such joy
you will enter ports seen for the first time;
…
Have Ithaka always in your mind.
Your arrival there is what you are destined for.
But don’t in the least hurry the journey.
Better it last for years
…
With these inspiring horizons in spirit, yalla onwards and upwards! The world is a tough and amazing place!
Yours,
Alessandra
