A rested mind brings clarity and wise action. Be well, friends. P.S. I get no sense of an account if all you do is repost rage bait without so much of a quote. Afraid I don't follow those back, and sometimes block.

Be humble; you are made of dust
Be noble; you are made of stars.
Stars are also made of dust,
and dust is made of ancient stars.
There is the nature of interbeing.
So nobility and humility also have the nature of interbeing. Looking at the one, you can recognize the other."

Buddhism and mindfulness are guiding me back to sanity these days, so I keep studying it more and more. Just learned the word "householder" and I love it.

Good night everyone. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.
![“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.
[...]
There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Trump didn’t just take billions of taxpayer dollars and give it to Argentina with no legal process to help a politician he likes avoid losses in domestic elections and hook up a billionaire he knows who made a bad bet on Argentina.
He gave away billions of Americans’ money and it didn’t even work.

Things are not going well in Argentina, official exchange rate has now decoupled from the market-implied exchange rate to the tune of about 8%

A formless, general anger appeared in my brain yesterday and lingers still. But I'm at least grateful for the chance to reflect in peace, to understand the anger. What it's telling me, how to address it, etc. Or at least to let it float away. Not everyone has the time or space. #Buddhism

Audiobook version now, hard copy soon for reference. I'm benefiting from the debunking of right wing Christian talking points, but also from knowing in advance what those talking points have been. Sometimes these guys bring it up out of the blue, and I'm stunned. Now, I'll be ready.
