2 of the nephews (ages 3 & 4) are down with #Covid & quarantining…
So, the (slightly) older nieces are trying to entertain them/lift their spirits 🥰

If religions are understood
as organized Love
then, by definition,
hate must be heresy.

Educated is schooled in the ways of the heart —
literate is versed in the alphabet of emotions.

The spiritual answer is:
Don’t blame anyone,
for anything—
Not others, life,
least of all, God.
Accept the blame,
let it be your teacher.

‘I do not consider myself less ignorant than most people. I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books.
I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me.
My story is not a pleasant one; it is neither sweet nor harmonious, as invented stories are; it has the taste of nonsense and chaos, of madness and dreams — like the lives of all men who stop deceiving themselves.’
— Herman Hesse

"Spiritual transformation"
by Otake Hiroko

'Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.'
— Nietzsche,
Beyond Good and Evil
Truth in advertising
morning epiphany
applicable to love and life
in haiku-like purity:
only freshly squeezed
separation is natural
shake well to enjoy!
In fructose veritas.
📖 #Today's #meditation :
Think of your pain as a doctor, diagnosing your sickness
and guiding you to health.

After 10 years in print, & some wonderful #reviews, my essay collection is now out of print & in search of a new home.
If you are, or know of any good publishers of cultural nonfiction — contrasting the East & West — I hope you’ll help me give my #book a 2nd chance (with updated new essays).

Meditate.
Live purely. Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon, come out
from behind the clouds!

Suits was streamed for 3 billion minutes on #Netflix and its #writers were paid a collective $3,000 in residuals.
And that’s why they are striking.
