Open Eyes

The hurricane was a  – – –  hurricane.

Today’s short Blog is a short quote:

“It takes no special talent to see what’s ugly, numbing, depressing, and death-dealing in our world. But staying aware of what’s good, true, and beautiful demands that we open our eyes, minds, and hearts, and keep them open. . . . We can begin to see beauty in the most surprising places, not only in nature but in human nature. That’s what will give us the inspiration, strength, and courage to . . . work for what’s right. There’s a lot of ugly out there, but there’s a lot of beauty as well.”

• Parker Palmer quoted in Sharon Salzberg, Real Life: The Journey from Isolation to Openness and Freedom, Flatiron, 2023.
