Buddhist Interlude

Not causing harm requires staying awake.

Part of being awake is slowing down enough to notice what we say and do.

The more we witness our emotional chain reactions and understand how they work, the easier it is to refrain.

It becomes a way of life to stay awake, slow down and notice.

— Pema Chodron

As my blog-life wears down, even if only temporarily, I am happy to find affirmation and inspiration for the reasons for its end.
