Nature Walk

I really enjoyed being able to get out in the woods a couple of evenings this week. All the forest critters seemed to be out enjoying the perfect weather right along with me. This entire week was a perfect first-taste of summer. :)

I just cannot figure out what that last critter is?! But the squirrel shot is my FAVORITE! He is checking you out... checking him out!

@Shannon, the last little guy in the tree is a woodchuck. :)

On LovingKindness

This is what should be done
By one who is skilled in goodness,
And who knows the path of peace:
Let them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in speech.
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily satisfied.
Unburdened with duties
and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm,
and wise and skillful,
Not proud and demanding in nature.
Let them not do the slightest thing
That the wise would later reprove.
Wishing: In gladness and in safety,
May all beings be at ease.
Whatever living beings there may be;
Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,
The great or the mighty,
medium, short or small,
The seen and the unseen,
Those living near and far away,
Those born and to-be-born,
May all beings be at ease!
Let none deceive another,
Or despise any being in any state,
Let none through anger or ill-will
Wish harm upon another.
As a mother protects with her life
Her child, her only child,
So with a boundless heart
Should one cherish all living beings;
Radiating kindness over the entire world:
Spreading upwards to the skies,
And downwards to the depths;
Outwards and unbounded,
Freed from hatred and ill-will.
Whether standing or walking,
seated or lying down
Free from drowsiness,
One should maintain this mindfulness.
