Whatever your situation this holiday season, may there still be a blessing or many of one form or another.
What do you first notice when you look at this photo? What do you notice next? Do you find yourself making aesthetic judgments or comparisons? What about moral judgments?
Is it possible truly to witness without judgment? To see the good (or at least the potential for good) in everything, even if it does not please us or fit in with how we would like the world to be?

As one who has long been intimate with anxiety, my best remedy is to take Krishna’s advice to Arjuna to heart and get up and do something.
If you don’t get the hoped for results, at least you tried. If there’s success, you’ll be a part of it. If you do nothing, all you have is your anxiety.
Second batch of postcards about to arrive. I don’t know if it will get out enough of the vote, but it feels like it helps create positive momentum.
May you be happy, healthy, and inspired.
And remember to pause for beauty.
Thanks to my friend Patrick McClintock (and massage therapist extraordinaire) for being willing to circle around the block while were on our way to lunch so that I could take this photo.
Did you notice the clouds, a blossom, something of joy while still recognizing and doing what you can with the world being as it is in these times?
