Mind and the Weather
Ordinarily, our minds are like flags in the wind, fluttering this way and that, depending on which way the wind blows. Even if we don’t want to feel angry, jealous, lonely, or depressed, we’re carried away by such feelings and by the thoughts and physical sensations that accompany them. We’re not free; we can’t see other options, other possibilities. – Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, “The Aim of Attention “ |
May you be free from suffering and the causes of suffering! All my best,

Expansive Peace
Whether we’re seeking inner peace or global peace or a combination of the two, the way to experience it is to build on the foundation of unconditional openness to all that arises. Peace isn’t an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth–it’s an experience that’s expansive enough to include all that arises without feeling threatened. – Pema Chodron, “Unlimited Friendliness” |
