I
Time is zooming by and at the same time, it’s like a big piece of amber in which we find ourselves closely held. The seasons have changed, the one week Fall colors were completely different this year in shades of rust and copper, and there was a last group of lizards and frogs and bluebirds before it began to freeze at night. The hummingbirds have taken to following us around on walks, bossing (or trying to) the Dog and Partner around in no uncertain terms.
A lot has happened, and nothing has happened. As usual I suppose, but seriously, Gentle Reader, this has been a time in which the austere face of how things are in fact has shown itself in an irrevocable kind of way. An adjunct to that is the realization that my lifelong effort to see the good in people may have….er….blinded me to certain prevailing truths. Which gave a whole new cast to this life thing to be thrashed around (with AND by). So the masks have fallen, the gloves are off, and it’s more than a bit scary. Then of course, there’s the “news” and the “world” and well. Some days it is simply too much. As usual I retreat to my Dharma (the kitchen!), my Sangha (D and P!), and of course the Buddha (to whom I address important questions like how much sugar do I really need to put in this glaze?). A picture, they say, is worth a thousand words, which I do not have today. So, above, we’ll say is the oft-consulted Buddha. Below, and you can decide which is which, are the Dharma and the Sangha.
BLESSINGS AND THANKS. May we all weather the changing seasons and greet the flowers in spring with joy and heart!
