I do thank God for everyone who works so we can eat. Every day.
And pray God will grant us grace to ensure they have
🙏🏽 Safe, decent working conditions
🙏🏽 Fair, liveable wages
🙏🏽 The respect & dignity due their important place in our common life

I use this table grace whenever someone asks 'anyone wanna say grace?'

Pass it on.... 🕊🙋🏽

“Many people suffer deeply and they do not know they suffer. They try to cover up the suffering by being busy. Many people get sick today because they get alienated from Mother Earth.

The practice of mindfulness helps us to touch Mother Earth inside of the body and this practice can help heal people. So the healing of the people should go together with the healing of the Earth and this is the insight and it is possible for anyone to practice." - Thich Nhat Hanh

Storm Surge

In the end,
will you be faithful?
That is question.

When the storm has come and gone,
when what you thought was precious has been stripped away,
when you sleep in darkness wondering if the lights will ever come back on,
when your life in the flash of lightning reverts back to the everyday of your sisters and brothers in the warzone,
when your plane to those destinations is grounded by the thunder’s roar?

Will you awake to new resolve for justice?
Will you spend less time before the screen and more time present to loved ones and those in need of it?
Will you leave the ground to alight among the troubled?
Will you listen to them?

Will the power that comes on be in you,
through you,
glowing out through your eyes,
electrifying,
filling you with a compassion so compelling
you become a wire
among many
channeling
love and peace
to the world?

"We have constructed a system we can't control. It imposes itself on us, and we become its slaves and victims. We have created a society in which the rich become richer and the poor become poorer, and in which we are so caught up in our own immediate problems that we cannot afford to be aware of what is going on with the rest of the human family or our planet Earth. In my mind I see a group of chickens in a cage disputing over a few seeds of grain, unaware that in a few hours they will all be killed." - Thich Nhat Hanh

“May we find ways to live more simply in order to have more time and energy to change the system of injustice that exists in the world.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

Few words before today’s Winter Walk to end homelessness in Boston — grounded by Coretta Scott King’s words, The Embrace, and Freedom Plaza.

Beloved community starts with us.

When the Buddha was asked to describe his experience of awakening he said, “What I have awoken to is deep, quiet and excellent. But,” he continues, “People love their place. It’s hard for people who love, delight and revel in the fixed views and places of absolute certainty, to see interdependence.” https://michaelstoneteaching.com/remaining-human-a-buddhist-perspective-on-occupy-wall-street/

Always grateful to the volunteers at Adelante Comunidad Conejo – especially today when members of the Thousand Oaks Police Department and their families helped out with pantry prep. Many hands make light work, the proverb goes – and there’s always a need for more hands. Interested in volunteering? Sign up at adelantecomunidadconejo.org. Thank you!

> How are ordinary Americans pledged to Buddhist ethical and spiritual ideals, to respond to the array of interwoven crises we’re likely to face in the years ahead? How can we deal with this bizarre downward dip in the American political experience in ways that best embody the values we cherish, the qualities we discern in the exalted figure of the #bodhisattva?

May all beings rejoice in the well-being of others.
May all beings live in peace, free from greed and hatred.

"Project 2025 is not a scattershot effort. Though some Trump appointees lack experience and familiarity with bureaucracies, #Project2025 distinguishes between executive orders, agency regulations, policy guidance, personnel reorganization, and congressional action—fueled by insider knowledge. It is a clear blueprint to dismantle or repurpose federal agencies and alter their priorities..." https://nonprofitquarterly.org/how-states-can-link-up-to-support-human-rights/ #Nonprofits #NGO
