When you understand your own suffering and that of the others,

and you aim to help other people, compassion is

born, and this begins to heal you.

~Thich Nhat Hanh

somewhere in between the wan light and the clouds…..

inquiry for today~ what are these simple blessings?

with each season…..

Many paths lead from the foot of the mountain,

but at the peak we all gaze at the single bright moon.

~Ikkyu
