These made my heart smile

These two videos came across my Twitter stream this morning, and I had to share them with you.

This first one, Bodhisattva in metro, is a delightful piece reminding us how little it takes to make a positive effect on the world.

The second one is a piano duet played by Fran & Marlo Cowan (married 62 years). Here they play an impromptu recital in the atrium of the Mayo Clinic. Marlo is about to turn 90 years old. May we all be as full of life and joy at that age!

    Thank you so much for sharing this, after a long, very tiring day, the Bodhisattva in metro clip left me in exactly the same state as the people on that train. Beautifully uplifting and a very valuable reminder of an important lesson too.

    Both videos are beautiful and very effective
    Today is Buddha Poornima (Birth Day of Buddha). ‘Bodhisattva in metro’ completed my celebration of this day

    Brilliant! I love the courage of Bodhisattva in Metro, his perseverence.
