The folks over at Globaloneness Project are building quite a collection of web based videos that document the simple notion of oneness and how we’re all connected and share a common responsibility for eachother and our shared world. I was particularly moved and inspired by The Seva Cafe’ in Ahmedabad, India; a cafe’ built on the pay-it-forward principle, in this case, if you eat today, whatever you leave pays-it-forward to the next person who comes sees you tomorrow. Each day they take in 60 guests and ask them to feel at home and enjoy the cafe’ while the Seva staff and volunteers cook and serve the food with love. Here’s the most interesting part for these 60 guests..Seva doesn’t present a bill at the end of the meal. Rather they ask the guests to think about the food, where it came from, who planted the seeds, etc. A simple yet powerful concept that affords a deep experience beyond the meal itself. I’m really excited about this organization and plan on keeping a close watch on their activities. Check out more Globaloneness at Fierce.com and their site directly.
