Ordinary Indians are feeling jittery about the escalating conflict.
No one has a clear idea about how far the new fight with Pakistan might lead — into their country, or even into their own homes. #Ordinary #Indians #feeling #jittery #escalating #conflict

The level of #hostility towards #regular #ordinary #taxpayers is #unbelievable! Why allow a #good program to continue. #GOP is an #evil bunch of #thugs, led by the #felon in the #WhiteHouse. All #MAGA are anti-American.

One of my #favorite #genres of #photography (and also #art in general) is #SliceOfLife, #unique #perspectives on #ordinary or #mundane #scenery or #objects. I just #love the #appreciation of the #world we live in. We could all use more of that kind of #thinking ourselves, I believe.
The step from perfectly ordinary things into the miraculous seems to me so small, almost accidental, that I wonder why it astonishes you at all, or why you trouble to reason about it. If it were reasonable it could not be miraculous, could it?

A quotation from Nicolas Chamfort
Men’s ideas are like card-playing or any other game. Ideas which in the past I’ve seen considered reckless have since become commonplace, almost trivial, and adopted by men unworthy of sharing them. Ideas which now seem extraordinary will be regarded feeble and perfectly ordinary by our descendants.
[Les idées des hommes sont comme les cartes et autres jeux. Des idées que j’ai vu autrefois regarder comme dangereuses et trop hardies, sont depuis devenues communes, et presque triviales, et ont descendu jusqu’à des hommes peu dignes d’elles. Quelques-unes de celles à qui nous donnons le nom d’audacieuses seront vues comme faibles et communes par nos descendans.]
Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 2, ¶ 145 (1795) [tr. Parmée (2003), ¶ 115]

#ThomasAquinas: " #Christ teaches the #dignity of #human nature ...and the full participation in #Divinity which is truly humanity's #happiness & the goal of human life." #MeisterEckhart: indeed the #nobility or #royalty of #ordinary people was at the heart of #Jesus' teaching. https://bit.ly/3Tz8mQW
If you can’t integrate/ assimilate traditional ancient wisdom into the ordinary reality of your own lived experience then you’re completely missing the point.

I see and hear a great deal of noise, panic and hysteria and very little wisdom. Sometimes the appropriate action is small, ordinary and modest yet in aggregate adds up to something greater than the sum of all the isolated acts.
It is not what happens but the way it happens.
There are infinite manifestations of drinking a glass of water, chopping an onion, sweeping the floor or sitting doing nothing.
Today I have found myself quite literally chopping wood (with a new splitter) and carrying water (bottles) from the supermarket 🤣
A #video on #youtube I am watching:
The Simplicity of Awakening: An Interview with Lisa Natoli
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoV7pw6wiog
A comment resonated with me.
Here is (part of) the video Description (hashtags have been added): "In this insightful #interview, #spiritual teacher Lisa Natoli shares her profound yet accessible approach to #awakening, #healing, and #transformation. Lisa discusses how awakening to your true #nature is an #ordinary #experience available to everyone, emphasizing that it is not an impossible or mystical journey but a #practical #realization of what you truly are #consciousness. She candidly recounts her own spiritual path, the struggles she faced, and the pivotal moment in October 2018 that transformed her understanding of awareness. Lisa offers #guidance on how to move beyond #coping mechanisms and embrace the #simplicity of being present with #discomfort, leading to a life-changing shift in #perspective. This interview is a beacon of #encouragement for anyone seeking #peace, #joy, and the truth of their existence."
