Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation // Words of Wisdom - November 15, 2020 💌
"There are billions of tiny acts that create suffering in the world—acts of ignorance, greed, violence. But in the same way, each act of caring—all the billion tiny ways that we offer compassion, wisdom, and joy to one another—serves as a preservative and healing agent."
- Ram Dass -
Via White Crane Instistute // The VAGINA MUSEUM
The VAGINA MUSEUM opened in London's Camden Market; In July we talked about the Penis Museum, one of the top tourist attractions in Reykjavic, Iceland. Now, in a sort of response to its erection, it has a sister museum across the pond, in London. The Vagina Museum is the first of its kind and is driven by a mission for social justice and public health initiatives.
Visitors to the museum will discover informational posters and sculptures, a small shop with vaginally themed products and an events calendar that includes a dinner for Trans Day of Remembrance and "Cliterature" (book club) meetings.
"The anatomy has such complex politics around it that we found it was best to first engage people through what they know, so we can teach them things they don't know," said the museum curator, Sarah Creed. "It's all about unpacking social constructs and changing perspective through engagement."
Via Daily Dharma: Traveling Toward Truth
The
Buddha found what he had to see by sitting still, but even he had to
travel to get to that point, to see through the other roads that would
lead nowhere and come finally to the understanding that the truth we’re
looking for is no further than the hair on our arms.
—Pico Iyer, “The Long Road to Sitting Still”
