On Saturday, March 22nd, a group of us headed out to Ocean Beach to work with the Friends of the San Diego River Mouth to help maintain some of San Diego's wetlands. We removed some invasive, non-native plants (a.k.a. weeds) and learned from the experts why it's important to protect the natural world from development within our city limits. A fun, productive Saturday morning, to be sure. Watch for more Sezio Value Socials coming soon-

Whether we like it or not, we are each a part of this community, a community that continues to stretch, swell, and expand across the globe. Where we once may have thought of our community as the overlapping midsection of our individual circles, more and more we are realizing that our community encompasses the totality of our individual lives with the whole being far greater than the sum of its parts. We are beginning to realize that we’re all in this together. We are learning that our own personal success in the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness depends directly on the success of all the rest. It follows, then, that the way to achieve our own dreams is to also play an active role in achieving the dreams of others.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy.

I awoke and saw that life was service.

I acted and behold, service was joy.

-Rabindranath Tagore
