Today is Losar, the Tibetan New Year
This is the year of the earth dog. Loyalty, intelligence are some of the traits of the year. I found this quote this morning and it really touched me. I guess because we have been working diligently cleaning and renewing our space.
Bringing order to clutter, I begin to see, is not just about putting my spices in alphabetical order. On a deeper level, it’s about balancing the twin poles of spiritual life: cherishing life and holding it sacred, while knowing that it will pass away.
