On December 31, 2021 our New Year’s Eve Meditation in the Golden Lotus Temple was blessed by the fragrance of devotion, the beauty of illumination and the serenity of peace. It was an offering of silent contemplation as the sun set upon the last day of 2021.

“Kindness is like snow. It beautifies everything it covers.”
—Kahlil Gibran

“What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau

After the beauty of the new fallen snow, a large limb of our beautiful magnolia tree settled close to the earth yet remained slightly attached. After a big job with the chainsaw, the path is once again clear.
