“Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.” — Allen W. Watts

Over the last several weeks, we’ve been exploring the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path. Particularly in the last few episodes ive been exploring one arena of training along this path…training in thought.

and how we can cultivate and strengthen it. And Ironically Speaking the Truth of the Word of Wisdom Today, i explored how, when confronted with suffering, loving-kindness can easily express itself as thoughts of compassion.
