Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Namaste

     Look who was at the park trailhead this morning!  Some sweet contemplative person shared this beautiful Buddha.  It did influence me to try to meditate while running, to calm my mind, and to appreciate the nature surrounding me. (I may run like the tortoise but my mind continually darts around like the hare.) It didn't really work as my mind wanders so much, but I kept returning to the mantra of "Peace."
     As I suspected, by the time I returned to the trailhead, a park employee removed the beautiful Buddha. But at least he was there for everyone to enjoy for a short time.
   



     May all beings have happy minds......the Buddha.

 “We think we are different, but we share the same life that teaches us the same lessons of love.”
