"The oily water on the river mirrored the red sky, sun sank on top of final Frisco peaks, no fish in that stream, no hermit in those mounts, just our-selves rheumy-eyed and hungover like old bums on the riverbank, tired and wily." 🌻

I love her so much. She really cares about delivering for her students and it really shows and she really does. All blessings dear Lama. I wish I were with you all right now.

Oh,I call those places (land spirits, at least it sounds the same) vortices! My daughter find those all the time out in the forest, even in urban environments, but those are few and far between. On Mount Shasta they are everywhere! We get so comfy and quiet when we find them ❤

Great teaching, thank you! ❤❤❤ However, there seems to be a reoccurring obsession about certain politician, not only in this video repeated at least twice but also in other talks. I believe, Lama would be better off focusing on Dharma and refraining from politics....

[@kylefenrick9168]

Because those who are receptive and observant, know how important it is to use the democratic system which people have died to protect. Also, the political ideology which has slowly gravitated toward the right, so much so that what was once considered a right side party, is now the left. It’s kind of like how there are those who say they are against water harvesting practices of nestle, while still buying the products which produce the problem. Money is a voice, which needs to be used to support life. Just like the life spent, to gain said money. You can also be sure that if a politician is out there, trying to deface another group, they are trying to focus attention everywhere but the place they themselves have a hand in causing trouble.

[@garlandilluviel3650]

This comment seems a good example of "being bothered by a politician" -- to contrast/compare "being bothered by a unicorn", which is the context in which he was mentioned.

I agree with you totally, Tom

[@garypuckettmuse]

ARE YOU INVITED TO MAKE A CRITIQUE? I'M SURE ABOUT THAT. SHE'S TEACHING FOR FREE AND EVERYONE'S A CRITIC?

[@gypsyjay5789]

@@garypuckettmuse actually we are supposed to critique. We aren't meant to follow blindly.
