I have been traveling and discovered this wonderful apothecary in Lafayette CO. It is staffed by certified clinical herbalists and they have a wonderful selection of herbs. They also make many products like shampoo, lotion, face scrub and a treatment for diaper rash.

Wisdom tells me I am nothing.
Love tells me I am everything.
Between the two, my life flows.
—Sri Nisargardatta, “I am That”
Go to heaven for the climate and hell for the company.

Love Your Fate
Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life, the idea came to him of what he called "the love of your fate."
Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, "This is what I need." It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment — not discouragement — you will find the strength is there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege!
Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. The crisis throws you back, and when you are required to exhibit strength, it comes.
- Joseph Campbell on loving your fate
Shared Nests and Food
A European roller defends its territory from a bemused-looking little owl in Kiskunság National Park, Hungary. The little owl and the European roller are very different birds, but their nests and feeding requirements are similar. This means they sometimes breed near each other. The male roller makes a sport of annoying other birds that stray into its breeding area during the short mating season. It makes a surprise ambush, flying at full speed behind them. To catch such a fleeting scene, Bence spent 27 days watching from a hide. The little owl seemed nonplussed by the spectacle.
Have a very nice weekend.
