It's supposed to rain today, but it is sunny and pleasant. I'm think of the east coast, where yet another storm has hit. I really feel for them. The election news has bouyed me up, but already, of course, the fiscal cliff has stunned the markets, and worry for the future is overtaking yesterday's news. I believe we have a steady grownup at the helm, and one who can listen to others and take advice without feeling he needs to posture or his ego will be shown up. So I'm hopeful something will be worked out. I'm excited about my friends' visit, and cheerful about my sore tongue. I have not broken off my temporary crown as of this moment, so for me, all is well.
My Buddhist teacher has hurt her foot and will not be with the study group this Saturday, but we are pretty competent to handle the discussion and will talk with her through a conference call. We're so comfortable with each other that we smoothly handle our sitting and our Shantideva as well. Everything changes, and handling change is part of our practice.
