“Try
saying this silently to everyone and everything you see for thirty days: ‘I wish
you happiness now and whatever will bring happiness to you in the future.’ If
we said it to the sky, we would have to stop polluting; if we said it when we
see ponds and lakes and streams, we would have to stop using them as garbage
dumps and sewers; if we said it to small children, we would have to stop
abusing them…if we said it to people, we would have to stop stoking the fires
of enmity around us. Beauty and human warmth would take root in us like a
clear, hot June day. We would change.”
