In night's quiet arms,
metta whispers, dreams unfold—
peaceful slumber calls.

In trials we rise,
resilience shapes our journey—
freedom's gentle path.

The world is fucked up, so I got a bunch of old tattoos blacked out.

Now that I have made this Bluesky we all share my only social media home, I thought it would be a lovely idea to create a starter pack for Buddhism/Meditation/Yoga. Please feel free to suggest more accounts for this starter pack.

Everyday Buddhist: Commanding us to relax: RELAX! In terms of stress reduction that doesn’t help very much. Ajahn Sumedho [Guilt and Tendencies] buddhismnow.com/2012/10/13/g...
Guilt and Tendencies towards Negativity, by Ajahn Sumedho

I read earlier today that people were literally crying over TikTok being banned in the US. I’m curious how many other Gen Xers like me could NO GIVE A SHIT? Or maybe it’s more because I have a strong Buddhist practice? Probably both for me 😎

In balance we grow,
emotions and tasks entwined—
hearts find gentle peace.

My poor dude has been a little extra stressed lately with all the fires around us, the constant alerts and warnings, and not being able to go on long walks because of the poor air quality. He was already a BIG Dobie lap dog, now he’s our snuggle bunny.

Here’s a little something I wrote recently.What I didn’t put was that blurting out something inappropriate like this was just another BIG sign that I had untreated ADHD 🙄🤣
My friend announced he was about to read a poem written by our head teacher.

Then, before my homie read said poem, and without a moment’s hesitation, I did it. From the back of the hall, in my best Andrew Dice Clay impression, I bellowed: “HICKORY DICKORY DOCK!!!” -Gary Sanders #buddhist

Yes. I had just quoted the opening line of a dirty 1980s limerick. In a Buddhist silent retreat.
