Short story: The blind Zen master who had plenty of sight, just the same

Steve Marshall @innertalks (22658) • Australia 9 Apr

The Zen master, Clintof Zerbroski, was blind, but being blind didn't dim his inner wisdom at all. This old master could give insight to the spiritually blind people who came to him, looking for answers to what life is...

rosé This is such a beautifully crafted and thoughtful piece. The wisdom of Master Clintof Zerbroski shines through, and the story about the arrow is a powerful metaphor—both humbling and inspiring. His words feel like gentle nudges toward deeper awareness,...

Looks like I'm running the dishwasher today.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77352) • Daytona Beach, Florida 9 Apr

George has had the munchies, and we're now out of microwave safe plates. I broke a couple last month, so we have very few. I am glad George's trying to eat, though. I find he sometimes gets the munchies if I flush his tube early...

rosé Sounds like great progress—even if you're running low on plates! It’s awesome that George is getting the munchies more, especially when the flush is earlier. Spacing out the shakes sounds smart, too. Thinking of grabbing more plates soon, or switching to...

Choosing Misery.

Kandase @Kandae11 (56315) 9 Apr

Can someone find happiness in being miserable? Strange as that might sound - some people actually choose to be miserable. My late mother often spoke of a lady she knew whose husband died in a car crash ( he was 45 and his wife...

rosé That’s a deep and thoughtful reflection—and not strange at all. I think there are people who, consciously or not, hold on to their sadness because it becomes familiar, almost like a companion. In some cases, it might feel safer than trying to heal, especially...

Another 10 AM morning.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77352) • Daytona Beach, Florida 9 Apr

George slept an extra hour today. but,he's not getting up at noon anymore and getting on the couch. Nope. He's actually outside. I have the radio going and he has his pepsi. So in other words, he's happy. And if he's happy that's...

rosé That honestly sounds like a win-win kind of morning. There's something comforting about that simple picture—George out in the sun with his Pepsi and the radio humming in the background. Sometimes those small moments of peace carry more weight than we give them...

Yesterday's appoitnment.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77352) • Daytona Beach, Florida 8 Apr

I noticed I didn't go into a lot of detail about what happened yesterday. Instead I ranted about what happened. So, yesterday we saw the nutritionist, and she's the one who orders the formula, and makes sure I have supplies. So,...

Good afternoon mylot.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77352) • Daytona Beach, Florida 8 Apr

We had a lot of rain last night, so between all of our running around, and the rain I'm not surprised we slept in. Strangely I found myself needing to pee about 9 30, but George stayed in bed until a bit after 10. By the time he...

Taking a moment to come on the lot.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77352) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Apr

I've been active and busy the past few hours. It's almost two in the afternoon, and I finally got George's stoma site cleaned and re-dressed. He's watching Jag in his pod, so I did it there. I need to flush his tube, but I can get...

Good morning. I've adulted and now here I am.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77352) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Apr

Well, what I mean by that is, I got the laundry done and I have my "breakfast" going in the microwave. George is out enjoying the sun, after waking up an hour early than he planned because he was wet. But, then, he wound up going...

Time to call it a night.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77352) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Apr

Well it's almost one in the morning, so I'm calling it for the night. I think George will be ready for bed here in a little bit. I can't ever be sure. However, I need to be ready for when he is. Safari has been glitching when I...

Good morning.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77352) • Daytona Beach, Florida 5 Apr

George slept inthis morning. Not by much. He was awake and getting ready for the day by 10 instead of 9. He joked with me about getting dressed so I could bring him his soda and radio. Now he's happily listening to the radio while...

My tryst with coffee art and twisted hearts continues

Pitstop @pitstop (15048) • Australia 4 Apr

Coffee is best when it's in your mouth or in your tummy. But there is a brief time when it needs to be in a cup and it doesn't really matter how good it looks in the cup - unless you've paid a fortune for it at a coffee shop and...

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77352) • Daytona Beach, Florida 4 Apr

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77352) • Daytona Beach, Florida 4 Apr

Felt the heat yesterday

aubrey @averygirl72 (38526) • Philippines 5 Mar
