LISTENING and LOOKING

News
I listen to news on NPR and BBC Radio daily...
("Isn't this fun")
 
...while simultaneously viewing mute cartoons on Television.
("We're flying with the Cat in a Hat today")
.
The combination creates an uncanny balance and
serves to aid detachment

 Tuesday I Voted
It was a low turn out by 5 p.m. and
I was welcomed by many workers.
 
 Then
Neighborhood Walk-about
Saw
 
Thought about the shortness of life and persistence of beauty; how Easter Lilies bloom and re-bloom, Hydrangea blossoms open and close.
 
This is how I manage constant stimuli: I remind myself to
take it in and let it go, without attaching or holding.

Wednesday Morning
5:30 with it's clear blue sky, ancient curve of a waning moon and one neighbor, someone I don't even know, whose light in the window reminded me of being in community. A palpable feeling of peace washed over me and I need to remember it.


Evening Meditation

Buddha, Dharma, Sangha
Sanctuary.

Presidential Debates
Part one with ten Candidates
I paid attention. It was daunting and overwhelming in this too-short period of time when so much has been ruined and so very many issues are critical enough to be called Emergencies. Part two with ten more candidates tomorrow night same time and place.

Stuyvesant Park
'In 1836 Peter Gerard Stuyvesant (1778-1847) and his wife Helen Rutherford reserved four acres of the family farm and sold it for five dollars to the City of New York as a public park. This remarkable gift may have been the most ambitious gesture of Peter Gerard Stuyvesant, the co-founder of the New York Historical Society and one of the richest men in America at his time. A public park in a rapidly expanding city was a priceless amenity. The creation of Stuyvesant Square was the catalyst to the development of an exceptional district within which Stuyvesant’s spirit still thrives."
