"...It's daring not to shut anyone out of our hearts, not to make anyone an enemy. If we begin to live like this, we'll find that we actually can't define someone as completely right or completely wrong anymore. Life is more slippery and playful than that. Trying to find absolute rights and wrongs is a trick we play on ourselves to feel secure and comfortable." - Pema Chodron, Comfortable with Uncertainty.

That being said, to the moron in Kernersville, North Carolina, (IP address 66.56.157.58) who keeps leaving vile, nasty and threatening comments: YOU ARE A FREAK! Seek help! If you attempt to leave another comment, I will inform both AOL and gmail (where you've set up multiple fake email addresses), as well as your Internet Service Provider, Road Runner Holdco LLC.
I'm sorry to show up like this but that same IP has been leaving me vile, personal, stupid messages and when I did the search I saw that on your post. I was really hoping to find out who this person was. It is like they think they know enough about me to try to bully me but they really don't know the truth about anything. I've blocked their IP from being able to comment but I can still see the vile spam they send through. I hate people hiding behind some mask to shoot off their mouth but not be able to take it back. If mine continues I'll turn it over to the sheriff's dept. This person knows my husband is a judge so they have to know he isn't going to let him or her keep harrassing me.
Please let me know if you happen to find this person. Thanks! Deana

Tara: Pema's writings have been a refuge for my soul for many years. I'm not surprised to find her here.
More kindness, indeed.

Tara,
I am so glad you are out here! When I look for sanity, beautiful photos and wonderful writing, which is almost every day, I click on your URL.
Pema has taught me well through her books. She has a profound wisdom that causes me to pause when I begin to see the world as black and white. And so very easy to do with this upcoming, worrisome election.

"Trying to find absolute rights and wrongs is a trick we play on ourselves to feel secure and comfortable..."
This is so very, very true! Life is fluid, never static, composed of a myriad shades of grey. There is no black and white. Thank goodness!
Why are some people so afraid? Is it really better to be mired in rigid thinking contrary to reality and be fearful and unhappy? Wishing all these people the antidote: Hope, change. self-liberation!
thanks, Tara xoxoxo
