I read the news and come to these words by Thich Nhat Hahn:

This, my dear, is the greatest challenge to being alive: to witness injustice in the world and not allow it to consume our light.

And this poem by Thich Nhat Hanh: 

For Warmth

I hold my face in my two hands.
No, I am not crying.
I hold my face in my two hands
to keep the loneliness warm—
two hands protecting,
two hands nourishing,
two hands preventing
my soul from leaving me
in anger.

The bee enters deeply into the flower to nourish and feed.
Float and flower deeply rooted in the mud.
Go within and shelter and renew in your own Discovery Den. Photo from Filoli Gardens.
