Found Exhortation (and Ananda)
We are unlikely to find bliss (ananda) if we spend our lives paralyzed by fear and stuck in our limitations. On the other hand, if we blast through life heedless of our limitations, we will be a menace to ourselves and others.
When we cultivate impeccable awareness of how we are in time and space at each moment, then with the safety that such awareness brings, we will be most able to engage in the joyous possibilities of life.

As I Read This Poem
This morning, as I read this poem by Janet Hoffman, which is collected in Plain Living–A Quaker Path to Simplicity by Catherine Whitmire, I thought of friends and family and students and colleagues who are living with loss and illness and other struggles.
I wish sometimes that I could heal or make happy everyone I know. Knowing that is not possible or even right, I wish for myself and those in need to know strength and courage and joy even when faced with causes for deep suffering.

Found Declaration
Saying such, of course, does not make it so. I just read a review of a movie about a self-proclaimed guru. According to the review, central to the movie was the question whether or not it mattered if the guru was a charlatan if she was truly helping people. Good question, but not good enough to get me to see the movie, as it otherwise is getting rather mixed reviews.
