Kim's Vow

I vow to live with a soft front and a strong back
remembering the boundless support of the great Mother Earth, 
the ancestors, the grandmothers, the teachers, and spiritual friends 
so that I may live with a heart that is open 
and courageous enough to attend to my own suffering. 
May I heal what can be healed,
let go of what is not mine to carry, 
and forgive my own limitations and the limitations of others; 
and may this open more space within me 
for life and love and joy to flow through. 

I vow to be with and bear witness to the suffering of others. 
May I have the strength and wisdom to offer care and compassion 
and the skillful means to turn us just a little bit more towards freedom.

I vow to honor the three treasures of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha dedicating myself to practice, study and spiritual friendship.

A Humpback Whale singing right under you is a fantastic way to start out the New Year! This Humpback Whale is from our Northern Migration. 

Here on Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula, we are blessed to have Humpback Whales almost year round as we get migrations from both North and South America.
