Lowly, tiny weed
possesses orchid beauty
with humility.

/ November 6, 2010Thinking of you, Gayle, today. Last Saturday, I went to a presentation by Global Relief by the Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi (Bodhi!) and today I am working on a post about that, It will go up Sunday or Monday. He did several wonderful meditations. Don’t know if you’ve ever heard him or met him, but I think you would have enjoyed it. I will post a video from the presentation and the rest of it is on YouTube.
Hope you and yours are having a fabulous, Sunday.
Thanks for all your wonderful poems and your bright spirit.

It’s almost midnight here–just got home from being out with family.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thank you very much for your kindness. xoxo
