Dubie's Thought of the Day:

I sometimes wonder
If the lesson of this life
Is the patience
And stillness
Long understood by
All that surrounds us;
With no notion of attachment
Their quiet days
Cheer on our slow realization

Puppies patiently waiting in the sun.

Witnessing endless eons;
Tender leaves sprouting

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

Anger is rooted in the fear we have about our uncertain future. Hatred is that anger directed at those we Imagine are to blame for that uncertainty.

Trees pondering their reflections.

Dubie's Thought of the Day:

The future always comes at the expense of the past. This is not order degrading into disorder; it is the familiar transforming into the unfamiliar.

Our anxiety is rooted in believing that this is a problem to be solved; let go and enjoy the ride, there's no getting off.

This is a puppy pile.

Finding stillness in motion the sea is not battered by the waves.

Drifting clouds don’t block the sun for long.
