My newest project is the guest editor for a special edition of IJERPH on Global Nursing Leadership for Climate Resilience and Health Equity. I hope many of my nursing and other friends who are interested in climate resilience and health equity will consider contributing. www.mdpi.com/journal/ijer...

Listening to Fr. Greg Boyle this morning, he quoted a poet who speaks to this time: “Now could be the moment when we fall apart or we become whole” by Galway Kinnell.
Let's not be the generation that throws people away because they are different, or not perfect, or have made mistakes.

It is interesting that the problems we face are the same and don’t stop at borders

When I used to backpack we knew once we were about 1/4 mile from the parking space we would be alone with the beauty. Finding it only takes a few extra steps.

I had one last opportunity to practice at Eiheiji. When I cam out the mist had started to settle. The quiet beauty describes the last 3 days.

Visiting Eiheiji is a wonderful experience. curseofanurse.com/2025/04/22/e...

It is my first morning in Japan. The sunrise is beautiful. Next stop a bullet train.

Mike suggested Under the Net by Iris Murdoch as a good book for my flight to Japan.

Today, we honor the birth of Siddhartha Gautama, who became the Buddha. April 8 invites reflection on compassion, wisdom, and the potential for awakening in every being.

May this day remind us of the path of mindfulness, peace, and loving-kindness.

I listened to a talk by Valerie Brown, who spoke of our moral duty as citizens to address the root cause of injustice and to engage with compassion. She then cited Archbishop Romeo as saying that we are building cathedrals. I wonder what cathedral we can build today.
