[Jitendra Hydonus]

Sometimes I feel confused and even dejected about the way things are "playing out..."
What is my role here?  Am I "doing" all that I can to be a good householder and help
to serve others?  The answer is "No!"  There is so much to be done and I must get off
"my laurels" and attend to what is needed... but, where to begin?  Sometimes it's best  
to start simply... for example, to get to bed early and make it to the Tai Chi meeting  
in the park.  Collect the newspapers and take them to the recycling bin.  There are no
better places to be than where "I am."  There is beauty and mystery everywhere and
especially in our human compatriots.  If I give a smile it will generate good.  Especially
if I look at my fellow human being, really look at them and they see it.  That "opensto
the flower" of delight for all...

many times we wonder about what we see, hear, feel, taste
and touch.  Yet we cannot  remain skeptical.
sometimes you must have faith to get thru and to create relationships
