Sangha Donation to Chaffee County Foundation
This month's rent money for the sangha house was donated to the Chaffee County Community Foundation.  They sent us a very heartfelt thank you and are quick to disperse funds to our neighbors in need.  Thank you all for your continuing dana support.

 Denny's Poem of the Month
School Prayer
In the name of the daybreak
and the eyelids of morning
and the wayfaring moon
and the night when it departs,
I swear I will not dishonor
my soul with hatred,
but offer myself humbly
as a guardian of nature,
as a healer of misery,
as a messenger of wonder,
as an architect of peace.
In the name of the sun and its mirrors
and the day that embraces it
and the cloud veils drawn over it
and the uttermost night
and the male and the female
and the plants bursting with seed
and the crowning seasons
of the firefly and the apple,
I will honor all life
—wherever and in whatever form
it may dwell—on Earth my home,
and in the mansions of the stars

Diane Ackerman

We hope to see you soon!
With deepest blessings and best wishes for everyone's good health, safety from all harm and peaceful minds and hearts,
