smiley building

One of the buildings on the farm is painted yellow. The paint is perhaps chipped as much as it is painted. Jerome decided, very soon upon buying the farm, that he wanted to paint a giant smiley face on it that cars can see from the road. I found some mis-mix paint for him :) and a quote to paint on the other side of the building:



“If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.” -- Thich Nhat Hanh



We know that we want to contribute to peace in the world, but where does one start? In our daily lives. Creating a peaceful environment to share with others is a good step. Mindfulness is the most important part. See a smiley, remember remember.
