Sure, why not!

The deciduous trees are beautiful in their summer emerald glory, in the resplendent autumn dying of their leaves as sunlight fades, but even in their woody, fractal branching whose barrenness implies the eventual return of the light.

The wise one wears simple clothes, but carries a jewel in his heart.

—Lao Tzu

Resting in the awareness of experiencing— of seeing, hearing, smelling, sensing, feeling, and thinking— can be one of life’s most sublime experiences.

I consider myself a child of the Enlightenment, which means that I am passionate and serious about ever improving my knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and ability to think clearly.

May you be happy and at peace. 🙏

Thanks! I do pop in from time to time. ☺️

Confidence is knowing that you can. Arrogance is thinking you’re more worthy because you can.

I get it. And I’m happy for both of you.

I’m plugging along… how about you?

No matter how fast the world appears to be going, it is always possible to slow the mind down, keep it steady, and respond rather than react. It is a far more serene, dignified, and effective way to live, I can assure you.

Lovely. Feel better.

So it would seem. I’m up for it!

Cultivate empathy.

Great image!

I kid you not: I wound up filling for bankruptcy when I was young and poor because of my book habit.

What most people need is a good listening to.

I’m listening.

Sublime.

Our clinic and community are as prepared as I think we can be.

Difficult, but not impossible. ☺️

I have come to appreciate the value of struggle over the years. Too little, and character withers, too much, and we are destroyed, but there is a broad space between that offers the opportunity to become better versions of ourselves.

Wisdom lies beyond hope and despair.

It is a moving and eloquent reflection on the cycle of life.
