WATWB for September
Just a week late for the last Friday of September, but here’s some good news for those who follow the We Are the World Blogfest. From Goodnet.org comes this story of canine lifeguards. Yes, they rescue people in the water–off the coast of Italy. The canine lifeguards assisted in rescuing a group of 14 people […]
That Song Stuck in His Head
A bit of humor to get through the end of the week. “I’ve got this song stuck in my head. I can’t get it out,” he said. “I know. I can hear you subvocalizing it. But it’s one you like, isn’t it?” She said. “Yes, but I don’t want to be replaying it while […]
July 2021 WATWB–Making Others Happy Makes You Happy
I’ve been a member of the SGI-USA lay Buddhist organization for 44 years. The August discussion topic in the group is “Practicing for oneself and for others.” It’s an integral part of being a Bodhisattva—the stepping stone to Buddhahood. As it happens, an example taken from the Greater Good Magazine works well for the July WATWB […]
Another Mashup, Jill Meets Sam–Sort of
Where have I been? Another story, another time. Back now–on a more regular basis. Let’s get colorful. We will do more mashups as often as we can. This time it’s Waiting for Westmoreland (WFW) and The Vacation of My Life. The tenth anniversary edition of WFW, a memoir of a 20th century Candide, came out […]

Encouraging Words

People who are rooted in the here and now, who are not defeated by their limitations, who don’t compare themselves to others, who confidently advance along their chosen path—such people are happy, such people are truly great.

Daisaku Ikeda
When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak. Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path.

Nichiren, "Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain" (WND, 598)
To the extent that we love others, we will be loved. To the extent that we work for others’ happiness, we will enjoy protection and support. This is the law of cause and effect.

Daisaku Ikeda
The energy of creativity is like a fire that transforms all kinds of obstacles into opportunities for dynamic new growth and advancement.

Daisaku Ikeda
More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!

Nichiren, "The Three Kinds of Treasure" (WND, 851)
