Mīndful Monday

Shantideva, The Bodhisattva Vows

May I be a guard for those who need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood
May I be a lamp in the darkness
A resting place for the weary
A healing medicine for all who are sick
A vase of planty, a tree of miracles
And for the boundless multitudes of living beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening
Enduring like the earth and sky
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened.

Let me just say, I didn't expect my birthday morning surprise to be Joe stepping down (though it was becoming apparent he might) but I'm glad he made the decision to do so anyway. I support Madam Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the Democratic Party's Nominee for President of the United States. Our country is long overdue for a female leader. Our DEMOCRACY is teetering on the edge of destruction under those who are in and wish to be in complete POWER. It's time to balance the scales with a smart, savvy, outspoken, fierce woman who is also compassionate and understands the needs of Americans (not just the "whiteman") VOTE 💙VOTE 💙VOTE 🗳

Every March, most Americans welcome the switch to daylight saving time because of the longer days, but also dread losing an hour of sleep after they move clocks forward.
Decades of research suggest the annual transition from standard time to daylight saving time leads to public health and safety risks, including increases in sleepiness, workplace injuries, and even adverse health events such as heart attacks and strokes.
