Fred LaMotte A reading from ~ Savor Eternity One Moment At A Time ~ Dogen saw stars in a dewdrop. Ananda saw Buddha in a flower. I saw Christ gazing back at me from the bottom of the empty cup. Some pour it all out to get here. I got here by drinking everything.

I Report To Earth ...excerpt... Some parts of you were able to listen. Some parts were able to weep - a sound somewhere between morning bird calls and millstones. You sang, this day as always, your terrors and tenderness, your drowned and your swimming. 🖊️ Jane Hirshfield 🎨 Wilhelmina Krutrök

In Denmark, empathy is taught in school as a whole subject, as math or science. Imagine for a moment if we did the same. If we offered our children the keys to building a more compassionate world, where understanding each other would be as valuable as knowledge. What if the future started here?

Poem: For Warmth Winter 2001 I hold my face in my two hands. No, I am not crying. I hold my face in my two hands to keep the loneliness warm— two hands protecting, two hands nourishing, two hands preventing my soul from leaving me in anger. 🪡

America reveals her heartbreaking contradictions: the immense love of a family ripped apart by inhumane policies, and the quiet humanity of an officer who, while he did not choose this pain, is forced to stand in its presence. It is a portrait of injustice and also a portrait of conscience.

Each time you look at a tangerine, you can see deeply into it. You can see everything in the universe in one tangerine. When you peel it and smell it, it’s wonderful. You can take your time eating a tangerine and be very happy.” *Thich Nhat Hanh

When we find ourselves in the place to receive truth, it’s there for us. All that is required is to drop any pre-conceived opinion and entertain another idea. If it’s not what you expected, at least investigate the possibility.

Peace is not in the wet coolness of the forests or in the imposing summit of the mountains or in the interior of the caves. The peace you seek is in the same place where you inhabit your turmoil and your suffering. *Ajahn Chah

November steals light. Its groaning, overstuffed table force-feeding December’s mandatory twinkle. Sticky sugar & shine. A buffer for the hangover January brings, when we huddle & low, hay damp in our shuttered mangers, pockets emptied of savings & saviors 🖊️Amy Dryansky Forecasting

Although there are countless living beings, humans and non-humans, all are included within three kinds: those who seek mainly worldly happiness, those who seek mainly the attainment of liberation from samsara, and those who seek mainly the attainment of full enlightenment. 🪡
