Life of an idiosyncratic

...happiness to sadness, loneliness to curiosity, bewilderment to epiphanies...

True Source ... Which species shall I call Homo sapiens? In me there is a little boy. His left hand lifts up the curtain of night. His right hand holds a sunflower, his torch. The child’s two eyes are stars. The child’s hair flies curling in the wind, like clouds over the ancient jungle on a stormy afternoon. Let us approach the child together and ask, “What are you looking for? Where are you going? Where is the true source? Where is the final destination? And what are the ways home?” The little boy just smiles. The flower in his hand suddenly becomes a bright red sun, and the child goes alone — his path through the stars. — Thích Nhất Hạnh, 1977 . . . #sunset #poetry #poemsofinstagram #thichnhathanh #nyc #landscape #river #hudsonriver #peace #justanotherday #lifeofanidiosyncratic (at On the Hudson river) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-hP-GALcr/?igshid=go7hwhsmsogz

“Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitive change in our lives.” Rev.

Thích Nhất Hạnh said “I wrote this poem in 1965 especially for the young people in the School of Youth for Social Service who risked their lives every day during the war, recommending them to die without hatred. Some had already been killed violently, and I cautioned the others against hating. Our enemy is our anger, hatred, greed, fanaticism, and discrimination against men. If you die because of violence, you must meditate on compassion in order to forgive those who kill you. When you die realizing this state of compassion, you are truly a child of the Awakened One. Even if you are dying in oppression, shame, and violence, if you can smile with forgiveness, you have great power.” . . . #stillrelevant #peace #protest #thichnhathanh #wisdom #blacklivesmatter #humanrights #buddhistquotes #compassion https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3-SnaBiw2/?igshid=1vk2b2vel64ds
