I am kind of shocked by the amount of pain and suffering that I am seeing on a daily basis. Even in the midst of a happy time (read SCOTUS ruling on marriage) so many people are perpetuating suffering by joking about priests setting themselves in fire or asking when the 'haters' are going to move to Canada. So much suffering, and yet they don't even know it, and when it us pointed out they don't even care.

Refuge Day 2015
Yesterday was Refuge Day, and I took refuge in the 3 jewels. I can now officially refer to myself as a Buddhist. Previous to yesterday I always called myself a proto Buddhist.
I searched for years for my path, and sadly I think I was always dancing around the edge, fearing to take the plunge and make it official.
The plunge has been taken and I feel great about the decision. I keep looking at the little red commitment string on my left wrist and smiling.
I hope that today brings happiness and love and warmth to everyone.
