These words of wisdom from Pema Chodron are always what I need to hear: "Be grateful to everyone."

Such a lovely tribute to Mary Oliver. The directness, mystery, and celebration of the natural world in her poems inspire me.

"Be a good steward of your gifts. Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good books, have good sentences in your ears. Be by yourself as often as you can. Walk."

Tolkien was born on this day in 1892. Before he wrote "The Lord of the Rings," he wrote and illustrated this little-known and lovely children's book for his own kids, inspired by his first car, then used two of the names from it in LoTR https://t.co/Of5WEsivEd

May I/you/all beings be peaceful and light in body and in mind.
May I be safe and free from accidents.
May I be free from anger, unwholesome states... https://t.co/KYyiVnGxWs

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
