I decided to try to catch up with how buddhism caught on in the late sixties, and got hold of "Be Here Now" by Ram Dass, a best seller back in the day.
It was an interesting read. The biographical part made me wonder about what a serious junkie he used to be! Some sort of religion was probably a good thing for him!
I liked the idea of Be Here Now, of really being here and in the now. Living a life of endless love and compassion in the now is good, all buddhism aside!
SI BON !

Many of us feel caught between big stories right now: apocalypse on one side, renewal on the other.
This reflection refuses that binary and returns us to practice. Regardless of how this moment is named later, the work remains relational — loving each other, easing suffering where possible, staying present without guarantees.
As we move toward fair share ethics, this feels less like a slogan and more like a way of standing together in uncertainty.
