The more enlightened you become, the funnier everything is. This is why you see monks and saints often laughing and smiling. They can see through the illusion and see the cosmic sense of humor in it all. They also don’t take life so seriously, as the saying goes “play your part but don’t identify with your role.” There is absurdity in the human condition that becomes very visible and hilarious for those who have the eyes to see.

Be soft. Rest when you can. Take time to sip your coffee (or tea). Study a leaf. Scooch down low and witness the beauty of moss and its art. Paint colors in your mind. Turn a corner of a room into an oasis. Clear out the clutter. Stack books any way you please. Paint a wall pink or blue or yellow. Follow the vines in your soul and climb up or down or swing back and forth. Listen to your heart. It knows what you need. Slow down when confused. Pause inside the tidepools and breathe. Ask the night to bring you dreams. Ask the day to bring you slices of daydreams. Sprinkle soul juice on your heart. Soften those brow furrows and nibble on dark chocolate. This world wants to change you. Say no. Be soft. Be you.

Inspiring and beautiful words by Carolyn Riker, author of, “The Colors I Hear.”

Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital. :heart:

“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches…
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports…
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar…
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist…
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care…
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor…
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect…
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis

Thank you and yes, blessings to all :hugs:

Renegade Grief. A new book that has just come out about what we can do with grief, what others have done with their grief like holding dinner parties. We can find our tribes - others who are grieving too. Not in a wailing depressing kind of way but with acknowledging our feelings, not pushing them down. I have not read this book, only watched some You Tube Videos, this one I’m sharing with you.
