2. The best things that have happened this year are SCOTUS decisions on Title VII and DACA. Small glimmers of light.

      2. What we call the American Experiment became a global experiment. There has never really been a time with out would be dictators and we’ve beaten back each one. We’ll do it again. 🙂

   1. Now seemed a good time to re-publish it. It was first posted when I started blogging in 2014.

5. The Circle of Loving Kindness, Maitri… And all beginning with kindness for oneself… Unconditional friendship with oneself. That seems impossible for me, but I’m trying, in very small steps. Thank you for this reminder, Rob. Be well, be happy. Hugs on the wing.

   1. It’s difficult for me as well. Unconditional friendship with oneself is a great idea.

      1. I went on a Google excursion looking for info about the image. It seems so rich with symbiology. I didn’t turn up anything specific about it (including the artist), but found one site connecting it with Maitri.

      2. It makes sense. I’ve never considered the symbolism, because I focused on the words. I’m glad I shared this mural with folks on WordPress. I don’t think it’s there. The pharmacy is now an animal hospital.

6. Any significance to the pear, the corn and the blueberries? Love the artistry.

   1. Good question, Laurel. The mural was on the wall of what used to be a free pharmacy, so I did some research. The pear is a Chinese symbol of immortality; Native Americans believed blueberries are sent by the Great Spirit to relieve the children’s hunger during a famine, and corn is a symbol of life and fertility.
