Great quote.
Truly a great way to articulate the principle of equanimity and why it's the only way to embrace a world of impermanence and ambiguity.
Peace to you, James.
Dharmasattva:
Yeah I thought it was a good one too.
And yes, it is a great way to put forth the principle of balance and interdependency.
I have a deeper appreciationg and understanding everyday for the the great jewel of the Dharma.
Peace to you as well friend.

Dragonfly:
I love weeds too. They have their purpose as everything does. They aren't "good" or "bad." :)
Blessings to you.
