Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

A new year!  I my case, with it comes a new grandchild, our forty fifth wedding anniversary and hopefully lots of connections with friends and family.  I'm looking forward to a trip to see a childhood friend, a celebration for the anniversary with the whole family, our son's fiftieth birthday, lake swimming, a trip with our granddaughter and other wonderful adventures.  I hope our government steadies itself and wise heads prevail.  I hope guns are controlled, people treated fairly and respectfully, and everyone has access to the health care and food and shelter they need.  I hope we all recognize our Buddha nature and act accordingly.  Let love and compassion rule our hearts and minds.
