Upon getting up each morning,
we can reflect on how we can’t be certain
if the day will unfold as we think it will
and then resolve to greet it nonetheless
with curiosity and wisdom.
Greeting the day with curiosity
means being interested in what each moment has to offer.
And greeting it with wisdom
means not turning away in aversion from our experience,
even if it’s unpleasant
and even if it’s not what we had hoped for.

How do we live human unity?
The first step is to make sure
that our hearts are clear of any hatred and prejudice
for others who are different from us.
We must develop true love in our hearts
for people of different nationalities, religions, colors,
economic status, or gender.
We must eliminate prejudice and discrimination
from our heart and our mind.
It is said that out of the abundance of our heart we speak.
If we feel hatred towards any group,
we cannot hide it for long;
it is bound to come out from our lips or show on our face.
Our actions will speak even louder than our words.
Thus, living human unity begins
with clearing our hearts
of any animosity towards others.

By strengthening our compassion,
we give fuel to our courage and determination.

Properties perceived in nature will depend on how one looks and how one looks depends on the economic interest one has in the resources of nature.
The value of profit maximization is thus linked to reductionist systems, while the value of life and the maintenance of life is linked to holistic and ecological systems.

Cultural shifts happen on a different level;
they come into view only when we step back
enough to see a bigger picture changing over time.
A newspaper photograph viewed through
a magnifying glass may appear only as tiny dots.
When it seems as if our lives and choices are like those dots,
it can be difficult to recognize their contribution
to a bigger picture of change.

Acceptance anchors us so that we might focus on the present
rather than endlessly drift in a sea of wishing, dreaming,
and pining for anything other than what is.

That's what our roofed unscreened back porch is....an occasional crockpot and even more occasionally a one burner hot plate.  Mostly though it's our shady afternoon hang out in the glider and watch butterflies and then also a place to hang the laundry on rainy days...and some daily use garden tools, seedlings in flats, cat hangout.....

I am not comfortable leaving a pot of something for very long out there without a better 'kitchen' counter (mine is an old metal ironing board).
lt's another great idea to try on a long list of great ideas..I do intend to come up with a hay box cooker before the summer's over though 😊

which he can afford to let alone.
