This Moment

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.


(inspired by Soul Mama)

Wishing you a lovely weekend!

The Four Sublime States

Loving-kindness (Metta) towards all: the hope that a person will be well; "the wish that all sentient beings, without any exception, be happy."
Compassion (Karuna) the hope that a person's sufferings will diminish; "the wish for all sentient beings to be free from suffering."
Sympathetic Joy (Mudita) joy in the accomplishments of a person — oneself or another; sympathetic joy; "the wholesome attitude of rejoicing in the happiness and virtues of all sentient beings."
Equanimity (Upekkha) learning to accept loss and gain, praise and blame, and success and failure, all with detachment, equally, for oneself and for others. Equanimity is "not to distinguish between friend, enemy or stranger, but regard every sentient being as equal. It is a clear-minded tranquil state of mind - not being overpowered by delusions, mental dullness or agitation."
