YEAR OF ZEN: SPRING: DAY 51

Q: Remember the love given over centuries. Who has inspired you? How?

A: Love and compassion are unequivocally the glue that keeps the human condition perpetuating itself for as long as it has. I would be nowhere without the grace, love, forgiveness, and kindness that has been extended to me by others over the course of my life. Remembering this serves as a good reminder to pay it forward and extend those same principles to others every time I have the opportunity to do so. In the end, we are all remembered by those who loved us and were touched by our presence in their lives. And nobody looks fondly on the assholes and bullies of the world.
