stories from the time that dogs and cat lived together

my 3 years old was telling me how when she will grow older she will become my age and i will become hers. and she wouldn't have it any other way... so im posting it to not forget this option
its an interesting one i believe. she also said that when she will have children i will be their mother. lots of responsibility. point taken..



we have been to a nice children book fair, discovering memo edition.
so now before bad time we read josef capek
(brother of karel capek from this post..)
we both hardly read french so we get just few of the words and the general sensation of this man`s kindness humor and generosity
i love the drawings and the printing as well

Buddhism and Abortion

What About the Baby?

"My understanding is that an individual is a phenomenon of life in the same way a wave is a phenomenon of ocean. When the wave begins, nothing is added to the ocean; when it ends, nothing is taken away.

Robert Aitken Roshi wrote (The Mind of Clover, pp. 21-22),

"Sorrow and suffering form the nature of samsara, the flow of life and death, and the decision to prevent birth is made on balance with other elements of suffering. Once the decision is made, there is no blame, but rather acknowledgment that sadness pervades the whole universe, and this bit of life goes with our deepest love." "

Mindful Motherhood: Cassandra Vieten

i think this is great reading material for mothers of all ages

"Mindful awareness recognizes that each experience is temporary, and with practice, you can learn to ride the waves of everyday life, allowing each one to arise, peak, and pass away, as all experiences do. Mindful awareness can help you notice and derive greater enjoyment from the simple, subtle pleasures of life as a mom – the way the light shines on your little one’s fuzzy head, or the grasp of his hand on your finger - no matter what else may be going on."
