“Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear?”
Jon Kabat-Zinn
via an email from Tom this morning
surprising as unplanned kisses, all you haven’t deserved
of days and solitude, your body’s immoderate good health
that lets you work in many kinds of weather. Praise
talk with just about anyone. And quiet intervals, books
that are your food and your hunger; nightfall and walks
before sleep. Praising these for practice, perhaps
you will come at last to praise grief and the wrongs
you never intended. At the end there may be no answers
and only a few very simple questions: did I love,
finish my task in the world? Learn at least one
of the many names of God? At the intersections,
the boundaries where one life began and another
ended, the jumping-off places between fear and
possibility, at the ragged edges of pain,
did I catch the smallest glimpse of the holy?
Close your eyes, take a deep breath and trust your intuition.

There are more than a million ways to help saving our world and all beings living on it. Sure, most of them involve big actions and politics, but there are a lot of things we can do in our everyday lives. I have been trying to live in the most sustainable way I can for the past two years and I want to share them with the world, so I’ll be posting one thing everyone can easily change everyday for the next 100 days.
