all you can ever do is offer. every image a Buddha image, every offering a Buddha offering…! no matter how small or mundane or dirty or busted or misguided or whatever, so long as it’s given with a whole heart.

the most extravagant gift given thoughtlessly, with no heart, is meaningless.

the sacrifice that breaks the altar is rendered powerless, with no threshold to cross into divinity.

anything offered that is beyond your ability to give is a falsehood, intentionally or not.

so what does that leave? only what you -can- offer, and what you are -willing- to offer. which is enough by its nature and regardless of its qualities, simply because no other offering would be proper.

appreciating your thoughts about “stability” which is such a ghost concept to me lately. sustain-ability… response-ability… those seem more manifest, more solid and tangible. good food for thoughts.
