"An oak tree is an oak tree. That is all it has to do. If an oak tree is less than an oak tree, then we are all in trouble"-Thich Nhat Hanh

Traveling on a mindful path...getting lost from time to time.
Things that give me hope...

Acts of kindness and compassion-warm beacons of light-and we need them in these dark and uncertain times.

Thank you @jongraywb.bsky.social

Maybe even if we shine for just a moment at a time...we can each help to light the collective pathway forward?
Pause.

Soften your shoulders.
Take a deep breath.
Unclench your jaw.

Try your best to be well, okay. 🫂

I am watching the Senate vote today...I wonder how much money it takes to get someone to sell their soul, tell bold face lies with a smile, and relieve themselves of their humanity. Maybe it's a le carte, or perhaps there are package deals?

I'm a nervous flyer. My 'coping skills kit' for flights has...peppermint tea, lavender essential oil, play dough, Loops ear plugs, the Plum Village app with my favorite meditations, and a go-to show.

Best Halloween yet 🎃

So many adorable costumes! Favorites were Ash and Misty with two baby Pikachu and baby Sully and Mike.

Things that quiet my mind:

Plum Village Songs...E8
When I walk on this lovely path
My heart is at peace.
My feet embrace the earth
And my eyes embrace the sky
