"We must find new ways to speak for peace in Vietnam and for justice throughout the developing world, a world that borders on our doors. If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight. "
- Martin Luther King, Jr., "CONSCIENCE AND THE VIETNAM WAR" in The Trumpet of Conscience, 1968
April 13, 2020: I walked barefoot in the grass this morning, for around ten minutes. I wanted to lay down on the grass and just stare up at the big blue sky but the grass was really wet with dew. I made a small stride last night, I asked for something to get me through my paralysis so I don’t waste the term and my request was granted. It was from someone who’s been incredibly accommodating and helpful, I knew it would likely be the easiest of the things I need to do but the affirmation has given me strength to tackle the harder stuff tonight. Today my goal is to cut the grass, put down moss kill and weed and feed. If I have time I’d like to also power wash the driveway. Then tonight I’ll write the two emails I’ve put off for too long now. It’s time for me to start to shine again.
Fuck my paralysis. I’m done with it. I really want to put that behind me as much as I can. It’s not who I want to be.
I started listening to another book by @shannonkaiserwrites - it’s called JOY SEEKER: LET GO OF WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK SO YOU CAN LIVE THE LIFE YOU WERE MADE FOR. And early on there was a meaningful part that I’m going to paraphrase as a mantra for myself this morning... “I’m learning how to live a life that’s meaningful. I’m giving myself permission to be me. I’m replacing self judgment, comparison and anxiety with compassion, kindness and love.” Thank you Shannon.
And thank you @aaron_doughty44 for promoting this simple practice of walking barefoot in the grass, which I’m now incorporating into my life. I’m gonna try to make time today to hug a tree.
It’s been 1 day since my last emotional breakdown. I don’t even like the word breakdown but I’m still not sure how I can reword this to be more affirming and kind to myself. And this #photo is a part of my subverted selfie project of 2020, photo 104/366.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (May 19, 2022) U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen and staff participate in the semi-annual bell-ringing ceremony in T-court, which recognizes the varsity sports that defeated Army during the fall semester. A representative from each of those sports rings the bell, along with Superintendent Vice Adm. Sean Buck, Commandant of Midshipmen Col. James McDonough, and athletic director Chet Gladchuk. As the undergraduate college of our country's naval service, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women to become professional officers of competence, character, and compassion in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.

Theme: compassion. My friends separate their recycling and leave the bottles on the curb to make it easier for the guys who collect the bottles out of trash and recycling
bins.
Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, suddenly a woman comes out of the crowd. Her name is Veronica. You can see how she cares for you as she takes a cloth and begins to wipe the blood and sweat from your face. She can't do much, but she offers what little help she can.
As a child, sometimes I know someone could use a little help and understanding. They may be picked on or teased by others, or just sad or lonely. Sometimes I feel bad that others don't step in to help, but I don't help either.
As an adult, I notice the needs around me. Sometimes my own family members crave my attention, and I don't even seem to notice. Sometimes a co-worker, friend, or family member could use help or understanding, but I don't reach out to help lest I be criticized, or that they demand more of me than I'd like to give.
My tender Jesus, Who didst deign to print Thy sacred face upon the cloth with which Veronica wiped the sweat from off Thy brow, print in my soul deep, I pray Thee, the lasting memory of Thy bitter pains.
Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....
Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said,"Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly.

Avalokiteshvara is the patron deity of Tibet. When this guy was
confronted with the suffering of the world he was filled
with such compassion that his head burst into eleven heads, and from his body sprang a
thousand helping arms and hands, like a badass empathetic superhero. I didn't count the hands though.

Taken at Seishinin-a Shingon Sect Buddhist temple in Kyoto. The history of the temple dates back to the Heian period and is associated with the famous poet Izumi Shikibu- who was a contemporary and rival of Murasaki Shikibu, author of Tale of the Genji. The temple was rebuilt in its current location by order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi sometime between 1573 and 1591. The grave of Izumi Shikibu is located on the premises.
