“I Come at the End”

“I Come at the End”

I was not there

when the first spark hissed in the darkness,

not there when hands reached for fire

and teeth tore into flesh.

I did not sit at the first campfire,

did not…

Shefqet Avdush Emini – “The Face Without a Name”: A Spiritual Eruption in Color and Form



In this striking painting by the renowned artist Shefqet Avdush Emini, we are no longer facing a portrait, but standing before an icon of universal pain, of the disfiguration of the human being, and of the dissolution of identity in the face of the merciless realities of our time. This work is not merely an aesthetic expression, but an…

Peace isn’t something you find after fixing everything that troubles you. Life will always have problems

"Peace isn’t something you find after fixing everything that troubles you. Life will always have problems. The key is to focus on what you can control and let go of anything that doesn’t truly need your attention right now."

It's a tender whisper our hearts sometimes forget: peace isn't a prize waiting for a perfect,…

My garden of flowers

My garden of flowers

is also my garden

of thoughts and dreams.

The thoughts grow

as freely as the flowers,

and the dreams are as beautiful.

"The quality of people around you matters more than the number of people!"

"The quality of people around you matters more than the number of people!"

The true measure of a fulfilling life isn't found in the sheer quantity of relationships, but in the quality of connections we cultivate. Surrounding yourself with individuals who hold you to a higher standard than you hold yourself is an act of…

Bombing

The mass murderers attack. Death flies over. The pilots feet never touch the ground.

Victims become body parts dispersed amid craters and shells of smoldering rubble. Blood-graffiti is splattered on the gravestone-slabs of shattered cement. Concrete broken like hammered glass.

Those who survive the…

Excerpted from T.S. Eliot’s 1949 play, The Cocktail Party

It will do you no harm to find yourself ridiculous.

Resign yourself to be the fool you are.

You will find that you survive humiliation

And that’s an experience of incalculable value.

That is the worst moment, when you feel you have lost

The desires for all that was most desirable,…

Saga Dawa month

Two days ago was the full moon 15th day of Saga Dawa, the day 2600 years ago that Shakyamuni Buddha was both born and enlightened, 35 years later. I know everyone has and is trying hard during this Saga Dawa month to avoid harm, even little harms. On top of that, I know everyone has been practicing love and compassion as much as…

Joy often blooms most fully when we simply slow down

"There’s no prize for racing through life. Slow down. Feel the breeze. Taste your food. Laugh with someone you love.

Slow doesn’t always ‘win the race,’ but it feels a lot more joy."

In a world that often celebrates speed and constant hustle, it’s important to remember that life isn’t a race to be won—it’s a journey to be…

Stay alive by seeking knowledge, exploring, creating, and expressing yourself authentically

As we journey through the unpredictable maze of life, we encounter challenges that can shake us to our core, threatening to dim the light within us. In these moments of adversity, it's tempting to withdraw, to let despair cast a shadow over our spirit. Yet, amidst the chaos, there is a powerful truth to hold onto: remain alive. Do not…

Two days from now will be the most sacred and holy day of the Buddhist year

Two days from now will be the most sacred and holy day of the Buddhist year. It is the full moon day of Saga Dawa when Shakyamuni Buddha was born and became enlightened. Our actions of behavior, speech, and mind will be astronomically increased. This means the consequences of our actions will be multiplied greatly, based on whether…

"Everyone is going through a lot right now. I hope we all find peace!"

In this journey we call life, each heart carries its own weight of unspoken burdens, its own silent struggles.

We are all navigating our unique paths, facing challenges that test our resilience and push us to our…

Please be good. This is the 11th day of the most precious month in the Tibetan Buddhist year.

Please be good. This is the 11th day of the most precious month in the Tibetan Buddhist year. It is the month in which Shakyamuni Buddha was born and attained enlightenment. The power of his earth-shattering realization created karmic ripples such that the actions we do this month, and especially on the full-moon 15th day of Saga…

To be or not to be. That is the question.

To be or not to be. That is the question. To just be, and not do, this is the question. We are too high strung, doing, doing, and more doing. Sometimes take a break. Refresh. Drop into awareness. Drop into the present moment. Rest. Stay alert. Come home. Rediscover stillness. Rediscover tranquility. Strengthen your intuition. Polish…

"Be selective with your battles. Sometimes peace is better than being right."

"Be selective with your battles. Sometimes peace is better than being right."

Choosing our battles wisely is a cornerstone of a peaceful and fulfilling life. Not every disagreement requires a confrontation; sometimes, the pursuit of being "right" overshadows the greater value of harmony and well-being.

The energy expended on…
