Things that bring me peace:

The great lakes when the waves and the winds are calm.
Blue sky with a few light clouds above a calm blue lake with a small cove thats framed by trees and a rocky shore that leds up to a grassy hill. Its autumn so the trees on the shore have bits of yellow, brown, and green.

Art in unexpected places.

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.
Dust covered back doors of a white cargo van are used as a canvas for gray on white DBZ art. On the left door there is a (super?) Saiyan...maybe Goku. He looks like he ate a senzu bean or just got out of the bacta tank like pod thing...refreshed. On the right is another Saiyan-Vegeta? He's been roughed up a bit. In in the bottom right corner Squidward of SpongeBob Square Pants cowers in fear.

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
A picture of a walking path at a local park. The wooden path is sprinkled with the kind of orange leaves that crunch and crinkle as you walk. The path is lined by tall narrow trees holding on to their last bit of yellow leaves. There are a few clusters of green trees and bushes behind them and a bright blue sky with just a few clouds above. It's a nice Autumn day in Michigan.
