Wonderful links shared by sangha and friends:
- Felicia Dong: Herewith the video I mentioned, about the physicians/nurses assigned to support Wuhan returned their home city. It’s very touching to see the heroes, despite the missteps at the beginning of this crisis, turn things around. https://news.sina.com.cn/c/xl/2020-03-21/doc-iimxxsth0787991.shtml.

My Symphony
by William Ellery Channing
To live content with small means.
To seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement
rather than fashion.
To be worthy not respectable,
and wealthy not rich.
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly,
to listen to stars, birds, babes, and sages
with open heart,
to bear all cheerfully, do all
bravely, await occasions, hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common.
This is to be my symphony.
Many thanks to those of you who are sending
links and making comments, sharing your lives with everyone else... it is a
gift beyond measure. Please know that you can either leave a comment on the
blog itself, or send something directly to me and I will add it myself. Bows,
Misha
