Got my hands dirty today with our garden team who maintain social housing properties. There’s a very nice tenant, who is always kind to our staff with disabilities and from refugee backgrounds - so I thanked her. She said: ‘we are all just a link in the chain’. My full dose of wisdom for the day.

I didn’t think I’d be involved in writing a book this year!
Thanks to my six other book writing buddies and community work and Zen teachers, who have taught me how to uncover hope & build community.
A great Chrissy present.

Mind blown - I never knew there was a fourth monkey. 1) see no evil 🙈 2) hear no evil 🙉 3) speak no evil 🙊 and 4) do no evil.
Along with doing good, a lifelong practice.

I never found this Koan easy to connect with, but when you see 400 years of branching coral growth up close, in all its diversity, it’s pretty clear - we are all the moon.
