In the Buddhist canon, change is the only constant. No point in getting attached to things because they will inevitably change. We didn't foresee the magnitude of this change, however. And we've been stunned, saddened, grief stricken in a way I can't remember ever feeling before in this here country. I was much younger when the 60's happened and we endured a series of shocks..now it's global shocks.
We're talking and talking. We're envisioning the possibilities, the dire possibilities. Cabinet appointments, ghaaaa. The Supreme Court appointments. All the modest gains we've made for the good of all. We've talked it into the ground. Sure, we'll wait and see.
I bought a ticket to Burma yesterday. I'll be gone a month. I'll miss the inauguration. I'll be in a monastery with monks and nuns.
Life rolls along. Babies come and bring their angelic joy.
I don't have anger. I do have oceans of sadness. I cry easily and often. I live in a blue state but that will not save the planet.
There is gonna be marching in the streets, y'all.

Remember Bush Sr.'s "a thousand points of light"?
I think it's time for millions and millions of points of light.
You are one of the brightest I know.

Thank you. And, Burma. Wow.
