be content yet never satisfied..
~ j.krishnamurti
in an evening talk, alex berzin * posed the question:
why practice the kalachakra?
to what end?
the answer he gave -
we can do better...
generating self-confidence to cultivate peace..
taking time to be tender with the elders,
walking in nature with the youngsters,
being patient with our delightful, dysfunctional family members,
recycling even more..cycling even more..
minimizing our CARBON FOOTPRINT,
looking in the eyes of the homeless,
(do not be a stranger to suffering)
offering the second croissant another,
relaxing into deep listening,
drinking water, saving water....
smile, smile, smile.....
the list continues to infinity..
it doesn't get any better than this ~
the best is yet to come.....

I recall the day after you left, I was spending the day with myself, the others all out... I folded everyones laundry into neat piles and made all their beds. It made me smile.
Our very reason for being here at all: we can do better. And so, we must!
