DECEMBER 13: OUR MONTH TO BE AT PEACE WITH THE WORLD by Colleen Keating

Monday 13th December

  

   

Day 13

A day in the garden.

We planted out 4 new mandevillas, dark red,   checked out and marvelled at our two Kangaroos Paws, Bush Bonaza, and Bush Blitz,  our lettuce and herbs

. . .  all doing so well and our soft pink rose opens each new bud with a gentle sigh .

When we come to peace with our own limitations, we come to understand and accept

the limitations of others.

“As we learn to have compassion for ourselves,”

the Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön writes,

“the circle of compassion for others becomes wider.”
