A few days ago, we received the sad news that our grandson missed passing his EMT class. He needed an 80, and got 78.3. To miss a really big goal by less than two percent was a huge disappointment. He will need to wait until July to start the class over, and he […] Ram Dass said, “We’re all just walking each other home.” My friend, Pamela Chappell, wrote a song based on the quotation. On my way to the remote Buddhist Sangha for the weekly meditation, my van bottomed out in one of the ginormous mud puddles. Two wheels were up in the air, and […] “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it…”RUMI This morning a man who has written a daily thought for years put in his opening the following quotation about worry: “How would your life be different […] “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” ~John Bunyan When my sister came to Florida on Friday she could not have known the details of the warm welcome awaiting her.
