THE ART OF BEING HUMAN

This summer while biking along 65th street, we noticed a young woman with a small table outside of her apartment building. She and a few of the other tenants were holding an impromptu sidewalk sale. Only a few things were for sale, but we found some very great treasures.
I picked up a well-loved copy of “The Path to Tranquility” which is a compilation of daily thoughts by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. 
This one I especially like: “We must each lead a way of life with self-awareness and compassion, to do as much as we can. Then, whatever happens, we will have no regrets.”
Self-awareness.
Compassion.
No regrets.
This is what I'm thinking about in this moment.
