Cool Mornings!


We Arizonans love this time of year and sometimes it only seems to last a few weeks before it gets cold (for Phoenix, that is!). But these lovely mornings do not go unnoticed. Heaven!

I am reading "Comfortable with Uncertainty" a bit every morning. There are about 100 short essays from the American Buddhist nun, Pema Chodron. Many persons have mentioned her works to me and this was my selection to begin with. The book is now lovingly and repeatedly dog-eared.

Just want to offer a sampling of the wisdom in this book.

"Six ways of compassionate living-generosity, discipline, patience, joyful exertion, meditation, and pranja or unconditional wisdom. Each one is an activity we can use to take us beyond aversion and attachment, beyond being caught up in ourselves, beyond our illusion of separateness."

OK on with the day!
