Wonderful links shared by sangha and friends:
- From our dharma sister, Camille Spar: Blood donations are much needed at this time. The Red Cross however is having problems keeping up with staff to accommodate drop ins. If you can donate, please call for an appointment. The Red Cross also needs people to drive and deliver blood. Volunteers must be able to lift 45lbs. Contact www.redcross.org/volunteer

Contributed by Mary Hofstedt, a friend of the sangha:
Be patient toward all that is
unsolved in your heart
and try to love the questions
themselves,
like locked rooms and like books
that are now written in a very foreign tongue.
…And the point is, to live
everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually,
without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke
Beautiful.
