Reflection

If we are too busy, if we are carried away every day by our projects, our uncertainty, our craving, how can we have the time to stop and look deeply into the situation-our own situation, the situation of our beloved one, the situation of our family and of our community, and the situation of our nation and of the other nations?

I finally gained access to a wireless network so I can post. It's been almost two weeks of visiting with family and gaining insight on what is going on with them. I haven't done as much with my photography as I planned on, but that is all right. With help from my mother I began knitting again and it's provided a source of calm and meditation. Also I picked up the threads of my yoga practice. Finally it has been a time of refining the decisions that will be made in the coming months.

Now is the beginning of the holiday season, a time of reflection and renewal, may yours be fruitful as it progresses...
