Mountains are a place where you can escape from the world. Hang in there and don't forget to breath.

Its crazy to think some people need no proof to believe a lie. But need all the proof in the world to believe the truth.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

I just watched the video on the news, where several ICE men execute and beat a man to death. He has a name, a family in sorrow, parents that loved him. Never forget.

I mourn with them 💔 my heart is broken.

Speaking of Jane Goodall, my favorite quote by her:

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Good friends, what are meditation and wisdom like? They’re like a lamp and its light. When there’s a lamp, there’s light. When there’s no lamp, there’s no light. The lamp is the light’s body, and light is the lamp’s function. They have two names but not two bodies. This teaching concerning meditation and wisdom is also like this. — Master Huineng (638– 713 CE)
