I’m writing late, so there are only a couple of hours left in Gandhi’s birthday, but it’s adjacent 
to St. Francis Day, coming on Sunday with animal blessings happening around the world, so I thought I could get in something for both “great souls.” Gandhi said that we can judge a nation by how it treats the powerless: the old, the disenfranchised, the animals. When I think of him, and of St. Francis, I’m reminded that if my circle of compassion isn’t widening, it’s shrinking.
How much cruelty can you swallow? Before being turned into
burgers, hot dogs, and nuggets, farm animals suffer painful mutilations,
extreme confinement, cruel handling
and violent deaths. Choose compassion. Choose vegetarian. — Mercy for
Animals.

I’m leaving on Sunday for the New Age Health Spa where there’s now WiFi, so I’ll do blog posts from that suburb of heaven. In the meantime, have a lovely weekend.
