251118 What I learned in my studies this morning 5

Today's Meditation(s):

The end of year 5.

Half a decade of these readings and thoughts.

I've made progress.

I've had failures.

I've let things slide.

As seen in the plerhora of asterisks in recent months.

I'm still me. Wherever I go, there I am.

I'm enjoying the last few months sojourn beyond Stoicism. Thich Nhat Hanh writes with clarity and power. He speaks to me and to my limited understanding of Buddhism. He makes me want to learn more. So that will be my next reading. Maybe the Diamond Sutra.

. . . right after I spend a little time with some old friends.
