Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love Paris and it is difficult for me to cope with the tragedy and violence from last weekend.
I had an art reception on Sunday that I was going to post about today but in seems so irrelevant in view of what's happening in our world right now. I will save it for another day.
I hope you find time to light a candle, say a prayer or make yourself & a friend a warm cup of tea.

"We could learn to stop when the sun goes down and when the sun comes up. We could learn to listen to the wind; we could learn to notice that it's raining or snowing or hailing or calm. We could reconnect with the weather that is ourselves, and we could realize that it's sad. The sadder it is, and the vaster it is, the more our heart opens. We can stop thinking that good practice is when it's smooth and calm, and bad practice is when it's rough and dark. If we can hold it all in our hearts, then we can make a proper cup of tea." --Pema Chodron
