Good morning – double sunny side up?
Surprise … doubling yolks… for good luck which I need for a new fresh day called today.
(vegans, please don’t freak out – yes, I love eggs – fluffy omelettes and all – oh, and honey too – but all in moderation – during a cleanse … none ).
Today is a new day whatever kind of night you had.
Sun rises and trees soar up towards the blue sky.
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
– Eleanor Roosevelt

Thank you M for this super cute mug:) Meditation time keeper, Shastica herbal … Japanese bean cake after the meditation practice. A cup of chai and …
A bean cake … this was back in Spring to celebrate the first day of spring – reminiscing how we drove out the evil spirits and welcomed joy into our hearts …
as first day of Autumn now approaches … thinking how that was not completely the case this summer, this spring.
But … the effort was there.
すっぼり手の中にはまるお饅頭でほっこりしたあの春分の日がなつかしい～あっと言う間に夏も過ぎ去り…
明日は秋分の日を迎えます。
Beanie Baby manju cake fits right in the palm of your hand … precious little joy.
Sweet memories of spring, then, summer gone by.

September 22nd is the Autumn Equinox … what ritual can you bring into your life if a temple is not down the street? It’s a reminder that tending to that temple is always within reach because …
That temple is within.
Silence is a source of great strength.
