Rejoice

Tonight a full moon shines over the city where I live. It is a reminder of everything that is beautiful in this world.  Go outside, look at the moon, and rejoice that you are alive in this moment.

How Do You Live?

Don't associate with lowly qualities.

Don't consort with heedlessness.

Don't associate with wrong views.

Don't busy yourself with the world.

Get up! Don't be heedless.

Live the Dhamma well.*

One who lives the Dhamma

sleeps with ease

in this world & the next.

*It's an oversimplification to say "Truth" for Dharma, but it would work here for the understanding of those unfamiliar with Buddhist thought.

-Dhammapada, 13, translation by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
