Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Very apocolyptic today with raging orange sun, dark skies and supposedly the temperature will reach 93 degrees. We feel dread here. Fires are raging, and our fire season has barely begun. Yet strange as these days are, they are no stranger than losing my daughter, or not seeing my kids and grandkids, or talking to everyone over the phone. My friend sent me a photo of her, and there she was, with badly trimmed bangs and hair longer than I've ever seen it. My photo would look the same. I don't even look in the mirror any more, knowing the marks of sorrow in my lined face, the bare forehead (I've let my bangs grow out) and the pallor that marks me. Ego and vanity away. There are more important issues at hand. We are stripped for battle. Let's get down to the nitty gritty. Love this world in all it's imperfections. Love others and ourselves with all our imperfections. LOVE IMPERFECTIONS,
