No mud, no lotus…

It's the Moon's day . . . another lovely Fall day in TulseyTown

Doing my part, until I can't.

Today is Armistice Day, originally a remembrance of the end of World War I in 1918, expanded to Veteran's Day in the U.S. to honor all military veterans.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, honoring deceased U.S. service members whose remains have not been identified, was dedicated today in 1921 at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.

[R]emember, every step toward progress in American history came after the darkness of defeat...it is our turn to pull up our socks and get back in the fight....Americans do not want a country where political parties each field their own team of billionaires who then squabble over how to divvy up the spoils of government...if Democrats want to earn back the trust of working people and govern again, we need to convince voters we can – and will – unrig the economy. – Elizabeth Warren.

Reckoning and rebuilding in the fog, when there are no fog-lights and no quick fix.

No mud, no lotus. – Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

How might anger, hatred and delusion—the mud of these times-- give rise to a growing compassion and wisdom in our world? – Tara Brach

Voce

Creation speaks.

I hear wind in the Fall leaves.

Cold breeze brings bird song.
