• Fundraising

    I made it a point to only buy those packet tissues from the less fortunate on the streets I saw rather than buying from regular stores.

  • sunflowers

    On Friday morning, on my way over to my part-time job, the sunflower plants at the farmers market were 5 euro for 2, or 6 euro for 3. So I just got 3, even though I only have space for one at home and another one at the office. I’d find a destination for number 3 somehow. On Friday night, I left the 3rd one on my office desk for the weekend, asking my co-worker S. who would be in to water it every once in a while. When I came in on a very gloomy Monday morning, after a weekend of torrential rains, there it was, in all its…

I have found that practicing kindness towards helps to keep my heart open and my mind clear, even during this very difficult time. Two recent examples: First, while sitting a one-day retreat, the teacher instructed us to practice compassion towards someone who was suffering.
