an alpine bouquet for you...photo by ilg two days ago.Whatever you do, don’t shut off your pain; accept your pain and remain vulnerable. However desperate you become, accept your pain as it is, because it is in fact trying to hand you a priceless gift: the chance of discovering, through spiritual practice, what lies behind sorrow.
“Grief,” Rumi wrote, “can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom.”
- Sogyal Rinpoche

71 kilometers yesterday riding over 4 mountain passes; over 5,000'+ of climbing all between 9,300' and 11,000'. Today? Thomas The Train in Durango with Dewa.
Buddha; "The Art of life is balance."
Blessings upon thy Practice,
ilg
