expanding in all directions

Whenever we see something which would benefit others,
no matter how small, then we should do it.Â

I have an announcement to makeÂ
this isn't the endÂ
it's the beginningÂ
it's just a very long beginningÂ
chin upÂ
stay in the momentÂ
the universe expands in all directionsÂ
at onceÂ

As we realize how truly connected we are to others, our loneliness recedes, we feel lighter and more resilient, and we move forward in our lives with a greater appreciation for our shared humanity.

more than 20 years after my father's deathÂ
I dreamed of him shining downÂ
on the earth in a blue beam of lightÂ
he had no bodyÂ
but I could see his face in the lightÂ
we were in an empty field at nightÂ
he said this is how I am nowÂ
this is it  I love youÂ
but I can't visit you here againÂ
when I woke up the next morningÂ
I felt a closeness to my fatherÂ
that we never had in lifeÂ
through death we had found each otherÂ
at lastÂ

I promise myself that I will enjoy every minute of the day that is given me to live.
Thich Nhat Hanh
I love to see a red tail hawk above my valley
circling in flight slowly slowly
it's a beautiful thing
of course the bird is hunting
and something might be about to die
alas
life is impermanence
the food chain does go on

The size of the place that one becomes a member of is limited only by the size of one’s heart.Â
