Today I'm grateful to be reminded that all things are come to an end, good or bad, but as Buddhism teaches, everything passes so we are best to appreciate things for what they are, and accept their passing by us.
It's a good lesson to keep in mind as Irene bears down on us.

Day 70: Thich Nhat Hanh on Awakening the Heart
I know I'm starting to sound all transcendental and stuff, and I promise to be posting things that are much more concrete soon. After all, there's a road trip in my (very near!) future!
But...
A while ago, I found a book called True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart by Thich Nhat Hanh. It now sits next to my bed, and I find myself returning to it. It's a very short little tome, but it's very concise and brevity doesn't make these practices simple.
I am grateful to have a guide for what true love looks like (so I recognize it when I experience it, but also so that I can offer it out!) from Thich Nhat Hanh's work.
