Little did I know when I picked up this pecan pie for Thanksgiving from the legendary K&W that it would be my last (or not🤷🏼♀️). Savoring the last few slices of this southern delicacy. Blessings on all the workers as they navigate this challenging transition. 🙏🏼💔❤️🩹💝

He was Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
He wanted us to awaken from the illusion of our separateness.
He wanted us to hurt less and love more.
May we come together in this practice to build beloved community.

Fifty years ago I stood on the second floor of Joyner dorm, looked out the window, and listened as the Bell Tower tolled for the “end” of the American Vietnam War.
58,000+ Americans were killed.
An estimated 3 million Vietnamese were killed .

This is the 250th Patriots Day and anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride to alert Boston and surrounding areas that the British were coming. Oh, women spread the word, too.

Judas betrayed his teacher for 30 silver pieces. He soon regretted his decision, and returned the coins. But it was too late to save his innocent teacher’s life. For your contemplation this Good Friday. 🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼
