One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

“Silence gives answers.” Rumi

(Sunset near Centennial Dome, Yosemite NP)

To be in the present is to be in the Presence
(Waimea Canyon, Kauai, HI)

"Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment."
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

A beam of sunshine cuts through a stand of trees and gnarled roots on a forest floor, bathing the scene in a golden light.

“Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, "Stay awhile."
The light flows from their branches..”

From “When I Am Among the Trees” by Mary Oliver

Found a beautiful spot to reflect on this autumn afternoon.

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes"

Cinematographer
"One of the most unique sequences I filmed this summer was on a day when three to five bears were play wrestling in the water."

scrub all you want, lady macbeth, that stain you voted for ain’t coming out

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning how to dance in the rain.

The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:

"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."

"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

We can never obtain peace in the outer world
until we make peace with ourselves.
- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama (photo: Hells Canyon Hidden Waterfall)

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.

I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

The local media in New Mexico downplayed the HandsOff rallies across the state. Several said a couple of hundred people showed up in Albuquerque when there were thousands. And no mention that there were a dozen rallies across the state. Looking at you KOAT, KOB and KRQE.

Springtime in New Mexico. Sandals one day and snow boots the next.

Thousands turned out in Albuquerque, New Mexico. #handsoff #meidastouch

I never thought I would repost something from the CEO of Walmart, but I totally agree with this. As Confucius might say, we live in interesting times.
