Thank you to Rob Brezsny’s Astrology Newsletter for this:

“Guess what: God created beings not to act in a morality play but to
experience what is unfathomable, to elicit what can become, to descend
into the darkness of creation and reveal it to him, to mourn and celebrate
enigma and possibility. The universe is a whirling dervish, not a hanging
judge in robes.”

Notes*

Author Pema Chodron teaches us how to meditate.

Do you ever wonder how we’ve found ourselves in the big messes we’re in as people and as a country? Apparently, the Why to all of this is that we’ve stopped being wise. The good news is that we don’t have to be brilliant to be wise, but the bad news is that without brilliance, wisdom isn’t enough.

From the TED talks –

“Barry Schwartz makes a passionate call for “practical wisdom” as an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy. He argues powerfully that rules often fail us, incentives often backfire, and practical, everyday wisdom will help rebuild our world.”
