It Is Good to Have Clear Boundaries

The weather was perfect last Sunday. It had been misting and drizzling all morning. At mid-day, the rain stopped, the temperature went up that which promises spring, and it was almost possible to see things sprouting green all around. This promise of new growth couldn’t have been a better day for the unveiling of the neighborhood dragon.
Thanks to friends and neighbors at the Kagyu Drupgu Chodzong, there is a new landmark in the neighborhood. I was privileged to me among those who were present for the unveiling of this most auspicious dragon for all to see and to enjoy. Whether or not we will be able to recognize any auspiciousness it might bring, it most certainly will be bringing delight not only by its beauty as a work of art, but from the knowledge that our friends and neighbors made the effort to offer such beauty to all of us.
Much gratitude for good neighbors.
On the way to Madhuban, we caught a rare glimpse of Trishula and Nanda Devi. It is usually too misty to see them from where we were staying, and they were not visible when we were on the drive back to Delhi.
In a few hours, I head to the airport for the long ride home, having bathed in the beauty of music and mountains, with, I hope, fresh perspective for the work ahead.
It is the limits of the phone camera abilities that makes the moon appear more full and also less defined than it appeared to my prescription glasses enhanced vision.
This as metaphor for my individual perception of our shared experiences.

Do you know who is growing and transporting your food? How about your clothes? What about home furnishings and electronics? Sometimes we cannot avoid consuming things that were created under dangerous and harmful conditions, but we can be progressively more aware and thoughtful in our consumption if we put our mind and will into it.
