I am exhausting limited self and expanding my awareness of my limitlessness.

I'm pink, therefore, I'm SPAM.

I am so grateful to find what I need in this moment of my life. I enjoy the teachings of Thich Nath Hanh, Mahayana Buddhism. I have believed for a long time that we all have seeds of all sorts of feelings and behaviors. I suppose that we can stop the nature versus nurture conversation by simply adding that some seeds are more fertile in some than in others. But it is watering or offering nutriments to the seeds that allows them to grow. When we find a negetive crip and become angry and use hostility toward ourselves to CUT this unwanted part away, we only feed more negativity. The only, and I mean only path to peace and serinity is to practice peace, serinity, happiness, etc... peace, serinity and happiness are the way! I must water the counter oppisite of the negativity in my life and watch it bloom as the negative withers away and no longer pesters me. Ah, but to be so American, even in this wisdom the desire for quick results is persistent. I was fired 12/3 from a job that I thought would answer several struggles and pains in my life and mind. Ah, but bitterness will only water pain.

I am saved from having to make sad choices everyday between caring for elderly and meeting paperwork demands. I have a new vigor for returning to the path of doing no harm, relieving suffering and teaching.

Thoughts are nutriments and water for the garden of our mind and therefor our behavior. May we use fresh spring water of positive thoughts and leave the acid rain behind.
