Some morning reading on our precious human life from Joyful Path of Good Fortune. From a Buddhist perspective, it is very rare to be born a human. I’ve been working on my anger problem lately and it’s a good reminder to keep at it. Practicing patient acceptance (accepting the way things are) instead of caving into anger plants good seeds for the future. The thought that a former self may have practiced some pure moral discipline in the past so that I could have this present precious human life is encouraging. There is some hope for this current appearance of Lynn, after all. Cheers! #joyfulpathofgoodfortune #geshekelsanggyatso #precioushumanlife #patientacceptance #saynotoanger (at Queen Anne, Seattle)

Late night for me, talking on the phone to a dear friend in Portland, OR. Time to turn off the lights and go to bed. Reminds me of the days, I would hang out on my porch in Portland and write and talk on the phone until all hours of the night. It is a precious thing to have such harmonious and close relationships with people in my life. I feel very blessed. I wish you all a wonderful weekend. Enjoy your life, enjoy your community, make friends with a stranger on the street, life is short and fleeting, make it meaningful. #itsalllove #precioushumanlife (at Seattle, Washington)

"This human birth is intended for the purpose of realizing of our true nature: infinite happiness. Do not miss out the precious opportunity to find your eternally blissful Self running behind temporary joys." - Amma.

Shadows of their lives danced on the lifeless desert boulders, to the harrowing song of everlasting pain, under a sweltering sun.

I am going to have kind thoughts towards others."
