Or cause me harm in any other way,
Even those who disparage me in secret,
Have the good fortune to awaken.

This job is brutal! 😂 I’m the machine operator, laborer/helper, mason/installer all in one! I miss the Union!
First time I ever did side work like this. Brick pavers, I know have to go back and adjust some. But I’m pretty proud of myself. My company in the Union got slow for the month so I picked up some side cash work. Did everything by myself no help 🤪

We pass through this world but once.

I do believe in god. But coming to the Catholic Church for my cousin’s son’s first holy communion has completely reminded me of why I am against organized churches and religion. I believe in positive living and god but this symbolism in churches is quite disturbing
All conditioned things are impermanent — when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering. This is the path to purification.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
