Haiku from Rosebud:
In night's quiet arms,
metta whispers, dreams unfoldโ
peaceful slumber calls.
Haiku from Rosebud:
In trials we rise,
resilience shapes our journeyโ
freedom's gentle path.
Haiku from Rosebud:
In challenge's embrace,
new strategies take their formโ
creativity blooms.

In shared paths we dance,
Joy and strength in union's glowโ
Hearts in harmony.
Partly because of some of the content, but also just embracing change. I started my sleeves 30 years ago! Time for something new.

Now that I have made this Bluesky we all share my only social media home, I thought it would be a lovely idea to create a starter pack for Buddhism/Meditation/Yoga. Please feel free to suggest more accounts for this starter pack.

I can see that & I appreciate you voicing this.
As much as it offered a safe space for many, I also understand how deeply it has harmed the worldโฆmisinformation, delusion, inflaming, etc.
There is no question that the powers that be have GREATLY manipulated that algorithm too, to their benefit ๐ฌ

Haiku from Rosebud:
In balance we grow,
emotions and tasks entwinedโ
hearts find gentle peace.
My poor dude has been a little extra stressed lately with all the fires around us, the constant alerts and warnings, and not being able to go on long walks because of the poor air quality. He was already a BIG Dobie lap dog, now heโs our snuggle bunny.

I replied to this awhile back but donโt see it!
So, I was YEARS away from an ADHD diagnosis when this happened. I was terribly embarrassed because of how completely inappropriate it was in this situation! ๐
Happy #Festivus !

And were you at this retreat? Itโs the one where Vinny, Pablo, Mary, Dave, Matthew, Kiara, etc were officially authorized to teach.
Hereโs a little something I wrote recently.What I didnโt put was that blurting out something inappropriate like this was just another BIG sign that I had untreated ADHD ๐๐คฃ
