Yep... another school shooting & here I am posting this again for the 2nd time this year. We're only in the beginning of school. This time it hit close to home in a friend's school district. When are we going to protect children. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! #edusky

I wrote this poem a few years ago after a school shooting. I posted to social media, hoping I would never have to post it again. But, sadly, knowing deep down I probably would. So...here it is AGAIN. #edusky

What joy it brought me this morning when I went out to meditate and this little one was suctioned to the window. Nature is a refuge & Sangha. So happy they were there to breathe & meditate with me. #plumvillage

Grade 4 students working on Microbit & Hummingbird Bit by Birdbrain Technology. So much pure excitement, investigation, and discovery. The coding is fast & furious. #coding #edusky

Grade 7 students got to chat w/ Alex from Grit Freedom Chair to learn about different designs for all-terrain wheelchairs. This adds to their research before they begin designing. @teachengineering.org #stswarriors #middleschoolengineering #designthinking #empthy #gritfreedomchair

Wonderful reminder for our world today from the @plumvillageapp.bsky.social. #plumvillage #ThichNhatHanh #ThichNhatHanhQuotes

Students gain empathy as they begin our scale model all-terrain wheelchair prototype project. Had time to try & navigate our school in a wheelchair. Lots of lessons learned. #EduSky #empathy #middleschoolengineering @teachengineering.org

Provided PD to new staff this week to share how @wevideo.bsky.social can be used as alternative assessments. Teachers were amazed what could be done & how AWESOME #Wevideo is! Thank you to #Wevideo for the swag!

How do we manage in these challenging times? Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us of the Buddha's teaching of taking refuge in the island of self. "When the Buddha was in his 80th year and knew that he would soon pass from this life, he felt a lot of compassion .. 1/6 #PlumVillage #Buddhism #Zen #Mindfulness

How awesome is Saquon Barkley? One of the most unselfish players I have seen in my life. One of the first players to cheer someone else on. All for team. #PhiladelphiaEagles #Eagles

Plum Village needs our help. Last night the Purple Cloud building in Lower Hamlet burned down. Purple Cloud was the hearth and home of Lower Hamlet since PV’s founding in 1982. Please donate to help the community rebuild! Thay’s room was there—... (1/3) plumvillage.org?form=PVLHFir...

Yesterday, I submitted the first illustrations for my upcoming children’s book, The Rainbow Tree. Below is just a tiny snippet of the work. One day soon it will be on shelves across the country. I hope the magical seeds will multiply love. We need them now more than ever. #JedWrites #JedCreates

This is WJWD.

Today on the 3rd anniversary of his passing, I celebrate the life of Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Master, author, peace activist, teacher, founder of Plum Village, and so much more. I love this quote from him on peace. #PlumVillage #Zen #ThichNhatHanh

The MAGA movement shows what happens when democracy is NOT based in mindfulness. To resist, we must root democracy in better, more mindful civic habits. To that end I’ve created a mindfulness survival kit; I hope it brings you peace, and points toward a different democracy than the one that failed.

This is strength, this is empathy, this is compassion...this is a holy person.

Presented about @bookcreator.com to a number of our K-5 teachers. There were lots of, "Oh I could use this for..." #BookCreator even sent some sweet swag!

Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today. Let us all work towards more compassion and understanding. #MartinLutherKingJr #PlumVillage

Dr. King & Thich Nhat Hanh met at a Conference in Geneva. Thich Nhat Hanh: I said to him, “Martin, do you know something? In Vietnam they call you a bodhisattva, an enlightened being trying to awaken other living beings and help them move toward more compassion and understanding.”

Honored to join as a Facilitator for the 2025 #GoalsProject! Looking forward to leading a team of global classrooms! Proudly leading #TeamSDG15! Global Goals, inquiry, collaboration, shared experience Join us --> www.goalsproject.org

January 1967, in his role as the Nobel Peace Prize laureate of 1964, Dr. King wrote to the Nobel Institute to nominate Thich Nhat Hanh for the Nobel Peace Prize. #MLK #ThichNhatHanh

The last words of Thich Nhat Hanh. . . . #zenbuddhism #plumvillage #thichnhathanh #mindfulness #zen #meditation

I don't usually post about politics here. But, I have to ask was anyone else disturbed listening to the confirmation hearing when Sen. Markwayne Mullin mentioned that it is not unheard of for members of the senate to vote or be at work drunk?

Students designed simple robots or robotic features using Hummingbird Kits by www.birdbraintechnologies.com/. Students designed, buildt, and coded @microbit.org. They had so much fun & so did I, this is my first times using the kits. #EduSky

In Vietnam, there are myriad little lakes formed from bomb craters—in which lotus flowers grow. That image sticks with me. The Zen master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh taught, no mud, no lotus. Without the mud, the flower cannot grow. What will we grow from the mud we are collectively in?

Please donate to this amazing family. A student of mine lost her father over the weekend to cancer at age 38. Read about this hero, Hüseyin Korkmaz, then donate to help support his family. www.turkishminute.com/2025/01/06/e... www.gofundme.com/f/upholding-...
