The
famous American Nineteenth Century writer, Henry David Thoreau, said:
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” Thoreau described an
exemplary alternative, by filling his moments and days with a sense of
purpose. For several years he lived by himself in a small, hand-built
cabin in the woods on the shore of Walden Pond, where he contemplated
nature, read classic texts, and communed with local poets, writers, and
woodsmen, and in general tried to elevate his thoughts, expand his
feelings, and live the philosopher’s life.

No Fear of Missing Out,
be aware of what’s happening within,
a constant flow of changing cells,
and morphing of the skin.

The following is an edited transcript of a talk
given at the Annual Old Student Meeting at Dhamma Patapa, Georgia by
Center Teacher, Bruce Stewart on November 12, 2022.
Good
morning all…it's a joy and pleasure to be sharing this precious space
with you. As we look around, we can see and feel that we are in “good
company.” Dhamma friends walking on a path together!
My intent is
not to talk “at you,” and load you with information. Rather, I look at
it like a sharing among friends. And like any good conversation, my
motivation here is to stimulate thought and reflection.
