"The key is to be here, fully connected with the moment, paying attention to the details of ordinary life. By taking care of ordinary things-our pots and pans, our clothing, our teeth- we rejoice in them. When we scrub a vegetable or brush our hair, we are expressing appreciation: friendship toward ourselves and toward the living quality that is found in everything." ~Pema Chodron

Of summer and grief
A pale blue, almost cloudless sky and the warm kiss of the sun herald the welcome return of summer;
a message received, informing loss and dear friends’ broken hearts, heralds a time of shared grief and mourning.
