According to Buddha
To try to practice and to try not to practice are both practice. I would rather say listen, be attentive, and see that you really are not attentive. When you see in certain moments in daily life that you are not attentive, in those moments you are attentive. Then see how you function. That is very important. Be completely objective. Don’t judge, compare, criticize, evaluate. Become more and more accustomed to listening. Listen to your body, without judging, without reference – just listen. Listen to all the situations in daily life. Listen from the whole mind, not from a mind divided by positive and negative. Look from the whole, the global.
she’s gonna listen to her heart
it’s gonna tell her what to do
well, she might need a lot of lovin’
but she don’t need you

Sweet dog and intelligent words! 🙂 Have a nice day. 😉
thanks Lisah she is super sweet…a little piggy but a sweet one 😀 have a fun day too! smiles hedy
Fantastic! Our dogs seem to perfectly model that idea.
thanks M.C.Andrews…yes she never misses this puddle a guaranteed bath afterwards…work 😉 compose a happy day ~ smiles hedy
Listen…to the heart, spirit, body. It is tantamount.💕 Thanks, Hedy. Sweet pup pics !
😀 yes Van…as we know listening is hard work <3 i learn a lot about that from my mutts…she's a sweet old pup! i love her very much <3 sending you joy 😀
Lovely dog.
she is Bob…she’s going to be 13…she’s a tough little mutt! 😀 have a fun day ~ smiles hedy
What a great series. Really made me smile. 🙂
I was feeling I needed to smile too Lemony ☺️ have a fun day ~ smiles Hedy
I bet you had fun afterward. Heh, heh… he says with an evil grin. I speak from experience since the dogs around here think it’s a great idea to swim in swamps. Stinky, rotten smelling swamps.
Yup my mutts know the drill Ray ☺️ a walk in shower and yes this is a silty puddle she never misses it….I’ve surrendered no longer attempt to stop her…she just does it anyways ☺️
Yes. There is nothing you can do. Dogs are either little Buddhists or little jerks. 🙈🙊🙉
that’s funny Ray suki can be a little bitch mostly sweet but she has attitude which I love ☺️
My dogs are all pretty sweet, but they do live in the moment.
for sure they are in the moment and their love is unconditional…i learn a lot about empathy from my mutts 😀
Yes. They do teach us a lot if we take the time to pay attention.
Many clues they give me ☺️ snowy day here Ray have a fun weekend!
Snow? What’s that? High 80s in NOLA today. Some fun this weekend. Have to finalize two months on the road.
all night…i need to shovel it, ugh…but i love to photograph it…2 months on the road sounds amazing…no doubt we’ll all be able to see your amazing photography! happy planning Ray…snowy smiles!
I will barely be photographing. I have to do my other job. 🙂 Long music tour — three legs so we get breaks.
you live an adventurous life Ray…seems like much fun…glad you get breaks too…i’m sure we’ll see some photos 😀 snowy smiles hedy
We’ll see. I’ll give you a hint, music tours are generally a PIA unless you are actually playing… I think the closest we come to you is Vancouver. At least in 2016.
Van is a 12 hour drive (1,159.8 km)…but who knows Ray…can i ask what band your travelling with, maybe i should know but i don’t 😀 i do have friends and family in Vancouver too…have a good day ~ smiles hedy
