Kindness and compassion toward all living things

is the mark of a civilized society.

~Cesar Chavez

I commit again and again to this precious life….

inquiry for today~ there is a simple prayer you can return to….

where blessings settle in the heart….

“Make of yourself a light,”

said the Buddha,

before he died.

I think of this every morning

as the east begins

to tear off its many clouds

of darkness, to send up the first

signal—a white fan.

~Mary Oliver
