The above Maitreya is at the Met in NYC.
I go online and see amazing historical buildings and statues. I'm inspired, and there's not a lot of that around my neighborhood. I could travel into the city to temples and museums that have great statues.
My house has many Buddhist hangings to help remind me. My daughter notices and comments sometimes. I have a tiny Buddha in my kitchen cabinet that my precious mother bought me.
Mehdi, my Shamsoddin, has helped me to realize I've gone through a contraction phase, an intense practice period of over a year where I'm fairly secluded.
By supporting him, he has really given me purpose and supported my practice. He wanted me to go online a second time and talk. I said I had to because it's my job. Not in the negative sense, it's a commitment, and it helps me out too.
