Cactus People

A L O H A !



" My witness is the empty sky. "

         Jack Kerouac 





" If your everyday practice is to open
 to all your emotions,

to all the people you meet,

to all the situations you encounter,
without closing down...

then you will understand all the teachings
 that anyone has ever taught. "

Pema Chodron





" None are so empty
as those who are full of themselves.  "


Benjamin Whichcote

When you interact with
prickly people
don't blame yourself-
after all,
you can't hug a 
cactus.
But remember:
it's counterproductive
to kick one also!
A word to the wise.
