I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

Why I love the study of Buddhism, and why I think everyone should learn something about it. 🕉️☸️🪷
Once the far shore is reached, there is no need to carry the raft further. In the same way, the teachings are not intended to be clung to as fixed views or doctrines; rather, they are skilful means to be abandoned once they have fulfilled their purpose.
Goodnight everyone.
Goodnight everyone.

There are very few things that came out out of the COVID-19 pandemic that are actually beneficial to humanity. Looks as though this may be one of them.

Hoping for clear skies, as I have missed my nighttime planet watching. By the time it’s dark enough outside, this old lady is asleep 😂 another reason to look forward to retirement, is not having to get up so early that I miss the summer nighttime sky ✨🪐
Next month there will be a very close conjunction of Jupiter and Venus. The two brightest planets will be a fine sight naked eye and through binoculars. Weather permitting. Closest 12th August. 🔭 🧪
