Enough already . . .
Friday, March 14, 2025. Enough already . . .
So much for the mid 80's yesterday that never manifest from that forecast for TulseyTown. The full blood moon eclipse was stunning if you managed to stay up after midnight. Today's forecast feature is wind. And lots of it. Very strong Southerlies becoming Westerlies steady in the 20 mph range with gusts possible to 60mph this mid afternoon. Temps in the mid 70's.
Oh, and lest we forget: Today is Pi Day. Give it a rest and don't overload your calculator.
We have a lamp inside us, the lamp of mindfulness, which we can light anytime. The oil of that lamp is our breathing, our steps, and our peaceful smile. We have to light up that lamp of mindfulness so the light will shine out and the darkness will dissipate and cease. Our [meditation] practice is to light up the lamp. Thich Nhat Hanh
