Just got off the phone with someone who was paralyzed in a car accident a year ago. We talked about her meditation practice. She's pretty serious about it. Inspiring! #metta

It's better to remain calm and act with intention than to lash out in anger. Don't be passive, but pick your battles wisely. Well planned, well thought out, effective. #BeHappy Be strong. Be true to your core beliefs. Sending #metta to all of you

Very excited to confirm dates in April to lead a 10 day Vipassana retreat! In response to hatred, division and chaos, I will teach people how to find love, unity and calm in their own bodies and minds. With inner peace comes the strength and resilience to face whatever needs to be faced. #metta

The whole coup / fascism thing is testing my patience and equanimity but I will stand strong without giving in to anger. Right now, I'm radiating #metta to a room full of people. May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and free. #BeHappy #BeKind

This is not a dress rehearsal. Its time. It’s time to speak truth to power Fear has no place in my soul. My country is worth more than my life. Stay healthy and speak out until they silence you.

if you really have no idea where to get started with fighting back, start with a walk if you are able. build up some physical fitness, the exercise will help clear your mind and lower your ambient stress. and it makes you just a little stronger.

Sitting on a ferry, looking at all the people and thinking: "May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be peaceful. May you be free." Part of the awareness on the heart / body. Inner smile. Seeped in bliss. #metta

Today is Holocaust awareness and remembrance day. I am not Jewish, I am a human being who will stand up to any atrocity against humanity. I remember the millions of Jews who were murdered driven by a mad man. We are in similar times. We need to stand up. #NeverForget

child abuse begets authoritarians, who then see the world as a place where abuse is not only justified but necessary. that's why they keep using physical child abuse as metaphor!

Worrying about it doesn't make it better. Being angry about it doesn't make it better. Calmly face what needs to be faced. Calmly do what needs to be done. Pick your battles. We will survive. #metta #BeHappy #Mindfulness

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

A brisk mindful walk. Noticing the movement of the legs and of each foot as it touches the ground; lightly noting "right, left, right, left" - just enough to keep the mind from wandering, but 98% of the attention on the physical sensations. Eyes on the ground. Be happy! #metta

I'm very good at sitting still and walking slowly but my resolution for 2025 is to be mindful while exercising and moving fast. That'll be a gift to my body this year and onwards. Be Happy #metta

Watching the snow fall on the garden this morning, I contemplate how each snowflake was once a cloud that was once the ocean that was once a river that once a little stream that was once a puddle in the garden. Everything is impermanent. Everything is interconnected. Even us. #mindfulness

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

It’s always such an honor as a writer when a kind soul buys your book. This book was 15 years in the making, with research on three continents in several languages. The upshot: the oneness that denies diversity and seeks to repress is not true oneness. Thanks @shadaegh.bsky.social #democracy

A course in early Buddhism: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Kind of sad that this only has a few thousand views whereas the typical porn video has 500K+ views. Looking for happiness in all the wrong places... #metta #vipassana #buddhism #mindfulness #meditation
