REMEMBERING TOMIE on June 19, 2020

I can’t imagine how Tomie would have commemorated today, Juneteenth, “the most popular annual celebration of emancipation from slavery in the United States” (Henry Louis Gates). But, I did find this version of a traditional Buddhist prayer that he would contemplate during his daily, morning meditations: May all beings attain happiness. May all beings be free from suffering. May all beings never be separated from joy. May all beings abide in equanimity. Amen. (Bob) Pray for Peace, Justice, and Equality
