Last Friday evening, I watched one of my most favorite telly shows: Bill Moyers.
He interviewed Karen Armstrong , and author and philosopher who recently won a TED award.

Here’s the link to her on the TED website:
What’s TED?
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It’s a fabulous conference, website and community that is one of the most inspiring and hope-filled sites on the entire web.
What does Karen Armstrong want to create?
I am thrilled to bits that Karen Armstrong is laying the foundation for the creation of a charter for compassion.
One of the grace points of living in a time of tumult is that great thinkers rise up and challenge us to become more than we have been.
Over and over, in the crafting community, I see people who are profoundly creative and deeply compassionate.
I love how they use their love of craft as a way of reaching out to other people and making an offering of beauty, of kindness and of course, of compassion.
This is one of the things that matters most to me, and so you will be seeing lots of posting about how people are combining compassion, creativity and crafts to help make the world better.
And, if you notice something on the web that is a good example of compassion, creativity and crafts coming together, please, please, please! Send me a note with the link, so I can post it here on Hankering for Yarn.
Yesterday, my son-in-law found this neat example of compassion, creativity and crafts in action:
Let’s hope compassion and wisdom and creativity will blossom and thrive!
