My 8th grader is stressed because she's a few points away from getting recommended to whatever pathway leads to calculus in 12 grade. But the town says it's all real simple, see? PS - The people who enrolled their kids in Russian Math years ago make this system even more inequitable.

I was delighted to see this timely article. So many of us are anxious and scared. Thay's teachings keep me afloat—especially now. Learning to be with the present moment is a gift we give ourselves and to each other. 🙏🪷 #plumvillage #thichnhathanh www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/w...

Dr. King & Thich Nhat Hanh met at a Conference in Geneva. Thich Nhat Hanh: I said to him, “Martin, do you know something? In Vietnam they call you a bodhisattva, an enlightened being trying to awaken other living beings and help them move toward more compassion and understanding.”

30 secs before my Zoom, I realized that a field mouse was stuck inside a plyo box in my home office/gym. I login, thinking I can release it later. NO. It got out & rustled in a stack of papers; suddenly materialized partway up my ankle. #workfromhome
