“Whether it’s with our own mothers, the Mother Earth, or anyone or anything else, we are always in an interdependent relationship with everything.”
~ Lama Tsultrim Allione, from her book Wisdom Rising
With the changing of seasons, we are reminded of the uninterrupted flow that courses through all phenomena.
