    Accept It and Live Up To It.

    “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” ― Gautama Buddha

    Cloudy this morning with a 60% chance of rain and into tomorrow. I am heading up to the Shambhala Mountain Center and spend about a half day with friends.  The last time I was up there they were building their Great Stupa. Could be a bit cold as they are around 7500 feet in elevation.

    Took this image of a Morning Glory a few days ago around my ponds. I just love how they pop with color. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

    “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”

    Yesterday was a cold morning that warmed up nicely into the low 60s. So, a walk in Od Town was in order. I was not the only one there. Here are some images from the day.
