#WorkingMeditation #105: Lucky, and we don't even know it (India Diaries)

"Everyone gets these inflexion points, where worlds meet and we get a view into the lives of others with markedly different histories. A vantage point that can help us see our ecological niche differently and hopefully value the things we take for granted."

#WorkingMeditation #104: Touch (India Diaries)

"We can see, hear and smell from afar but taste and touch are the two senses that invite closeness. And how we touch, like other expressions of care, is personal but also very cultural."

#WorkingMeditation #102: Daily caregiving (India Diaries)
"When the same people come into our homes daily over the years, bit by bit, we get to know about them and their families. We share food, tea, and old winter blankets. The stuff we've outgrown or don't have room for doesn’t go to unseen people; the people who care for us get first dibs and we can see the impact of our generosity, which trains us to be more generous."

#WorkingMeditation #98: The loves of our life (India Diaries)

"We're blessed with many different types of loves, all rich in their own ways. Why the compulsion to rank and reduce through comparison?"
