illusions shattered
dead rose petals fall softly

reaching petals afire longing to merge with the vast unknown sky

avoiding overwhelm [or how to not get swallowed up with suffering]
“Sometimes I feel overwhelmed. But I try to work one day at a time. If we just worry about the big picture, we are powerless. So my secret is to start right away doing whatever little work I can do. I try to give joy to one person in the morning, and remove the suffering…

lenses
I have learned that when people are determined to see me through a dark lens, they won’t be talked out of it. I have, however, learned that it’s their lens not my truth. That’s a good feeling.
