Thank you so much for this, Jeff. The Heart Sutra sets this out so powerfully. Having committed it to memory has helped me cope with the roller coaster of challenges these times bring. “No birth, no death No being, no non-being No defilement, no immaculacy No increasing, no decreasing.”

As we do all each of us can to support truth and shed light on mendacity and disinformation, exercising our franchise, we do well also to work to stay grounded and centered.
