I was at a loss as to what theme to address this coming Thursday. Then yesterday, we visited the Pacific Science Center and watched a beautiful documentary from BBC Earth. br It highlighted the story of courage and resilience of two small beings fighting for their very survival in a northern American forest and the Arizonian desert. A lovely chipmunk and a tiny mouse. br After many trials and tribulations, the tiny rodent found her way back home and had an opportunity to get reunited with her siblings. While facing the prospect of a cozy home and secure food, she thought for a second, turned around and decided to embrace her hard-won independence with her whole Heart. br May she be blessed for the wonderful example she's offering us on the Path. And may we garner the utter courage and determination we need to fully engage with the spiritual meanders that won't fail to pop in and out! br See you on Thursday, independent folks!
