emotions are like clouds floating across the sky.

allow them to come and go without attachment.
YOU ARE THE SKY.

kindness is love in action.
where there is cruelty may we choose to embody kindness in our words and actions, reminding the world that there is love, there are those who continue to choose love, who choose to practice kindness.
may hearts open and wisdom arise.

this popped up today. a memory from 2011.
such an enjoyable chapter of life back when i was a full time performer at LEGOLAND California Resort. i truly loved playing Chief Stern at The Big Test with the Fun Town Firefighters. sharing a green room with gymnasts and stunt people is fun!
i got to meet and become friends with some incredibly talented, skilled, beautiful people. here are three of them!
