Reader Suggestions for eSangha

In The Moment
sitting in the car, a warm tingle in the lungs. A soft cool breeze taking the edge of the slightly sunburnt skin. There’s a something about it, so simple and obvious, but uncapturable. By watching and feeling it’s enjoyed, every breath, sound, and feeling a pleasure. The unknowable is confirmed beyond any doubt, nothing to prove. Almost like the earth smiles back, trees light up, dust catches light, wind whispers, nothing not to see, all the mundane, extra ordinary. What’s always here is here, I bow and start my journey home.

Self-reflection is such a healthy process. When the willingness is there, journeys evolve in ways that can be life-transforming. Its fantastic how you draw attention to other readers. To explore and expand horizons is meaningful.
I enjoyed the link to slow food. Cool movement.
Wade,
Thank you for including “Gaining Freedom from the Chains of Delusion” in your eSangha list this month. I hope your readers find it edifying. I should add that the author is Swami Nirmalananda, and not me. I simply manage the blog.
It’s such a pleasure to read this post and -in doing so to enter a place of Buddhist practice on the ‘net.
