Avalokiteshvara is the Buddha of extreme compassion. This chant by the monks and nuns of Thich Nhat Hanh’s Plum Village in France honors that spirit. It helps me remain calm and focused on having compassion for myself and others.
I found a page online that has a whole bunch of quotes that help put fear into perspective.
My dear friend Dan Riordan turned me on to this interview with David Whyte, the British poet. A long piece, but worth a listen. He talks of having a conversation with the world around us, as well as the different perspectives we gather as we age.
An powerful interview between Katie Couric and Rabbi Steve Leder of Los Angeles that talks of how to address the helplessness that one feels in the face of violence in Ukraine and other parts of the world, and in the ongoing hour of mass shootings in the United States.
A link to resources we can access to help the people of Ukraine.
