About time to light the evening candle here in Brooklyn and my thoughts turn to all of you as we gather up our joys and sorrows and meet what this NewYear had in store . . .

A Buddhist Loving Kindness blessing to hold us all throughout the year to come . . .

May you be held in the heart of loving kindness and filled with loving kindness toward yourself and others

May you be free from inner and outer harm
May you have strength and good health
May you be contented and pleased regardless of the circumstances
May you find a deep and natural peace
May you be happy

Let’s all look up tonight wherever we are in wonder at the gorgeous, mystical, full super moon that will accompany us into this new year . . .

Spooky . . .

Sublime . . .

Happy New Year!
