| This Roseleaf Sage (Salvia involucrata) is in such splendor now with all the warm rains and pleasant weather. This lovely plant is primarily grown at MuRefuge for the nectar it provides the year round residential Anna's Hummingbird. As this photo was taken one buzzed up to a flower and had a sip. |

We all are deeply concerned about the aftermath of this very difficult and toxic electoral campaign. I invite you to join me in a daily practice of sending kindness and blessings and healing to those you have most disagreed with and who have disagreed with you. Begin with inviting healing and ease for yourself, and then, send it out into the country. Here is a lovely version of the ancient Metta practice, from the Himalayan Buddhist tradition, which I have adapted to express my own deepest concerns and desires. Please do the same, as you wish. Blessings to all….Penny
First, for yourself. And then, for your opponents, as you visualize them: May I (May those who so disagree with me) be happy, healthy and whole. May they have love, warmth, and affection. May they be safe, economically secure, and free from fear. May they know themselves to be respected, secure, and people of value and dignity. May they celebrate the many layers of their identity, of who they are. May all people find ease, peace, and well being. |
