a swirl of stardust
passing through this fleeting life
instruments of love

we have within us vast potential for empathy, to be kind and gentle, open and tender, resilient and filled with compassion, guided by wisdom.

may it be our choice, may it be so.
may open hearts, may sanity and wisdom arise.

What was the #imam who went viral reciting when the cat jumped up on him?

(By the way, this is not a rare occurrence. #Cats are often in the #mosques.)

#today I'm attempting to remain mindful and allow for a restful pace before heading to my afternoon/evening shift at the Practicum. The pending funeral for my father in law is still running in the background of my mind. There's a gentleness between me and my husband and children in the wake of this loss that I have not felt since the loss of my brother almost 16 years ago. #griefislove #Gentleness #coffee #coffeetime #coffeethoughts
