That 2017 added up is a 10 which then becomes a 1......I remember the Vietnamese kids saying you numbah 10 when a GI would not give them a cigarette ......or money and numbah 1 when someone did. Well I am going to be a numbah 1 in 2017 and commit as many random and planned actions of compassion in honor of the children of the Vietnam war, and their smiles this memory is from 1969.

2016 was an amazing year because we are still here......so bring it on and let's create more peace and build deeper alliances across all borders and all peoples while politicians make crazy.

This year will be very significant and sometimes scary........but we keep working and surround our anger with action
