Happy Friday! We made it through the week! We had a perfect blend of clouds today whose edges caught both light and color from the rising sun. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Sometimes challenges come at us with more strength & speed than we think that we can handle.
The reality is that challenges are always coming at us & some are just
easier to see than others.
#Mindfulness practice teaches us
both how to see & how to handle them.

I’m thinking of John Lennon today on his 85th (!) birthday. I was randomly assigned his phone number in NYC in 1992 after Yoko Ono disconnected it when it appeared in Albert Goldman's biography (see photo). I got calls from George Martin, Elton John, Rod Stewart, and many others.

Trust will be broken.
We will have to let go of all things and people we know.
We came alone. We will leave alone.
When you feel lost, broken & lonely remember the irrefutable truths of life & realize the understanding of your suffering is found within.

Paul McCartney came up with the melody for "Yesterday" in a dream. Worried he had copied it, he spent a month asking people if they'd heard it before. It wasn’t until no one claimed it that he finally called it his own.

For a timeline cleanse, we had low clouds tonight so I wasn’t sure we were going to get the Hunter’s Moonrise. But sure enough it showed up just long enough before absconding behind another cloud bank. Tap for full size. I hope you have had a great day!
