I look around: the feeling is homey and safe in BC, and LOVE.

It is wonderful truly to see and live on days like today and so many others recently. The sky this morning at 7:30am with Billy on the street was picture perfect of a master's painting. The clouds were almost scattered symmetrically all over the huge expanse. Breathtaking. I had no camera. I thanked Buddha for another day on earth with God and Her or Him. And with Billy, this little handicapped in the mouth dog I cherish so much.

The mood is so wonderful nowadays: mostly because I am utterly content despite ravaging sadness yesterday. I think each life, unless it is a particularly blessed life for joy, has a huge share of sadness looking back at different aspects. May I come to peace with this intense sadness required of me at each lifetime at loved ones stuck in samsara without much light at all. Om mani peme hung. Om mani peme hung. Om mani peme hung.
