Stop The Drift. . .

Night falls. The phone is calling. The world wants one more scroll. But Buddhism invites us to pause—and end our day with intention.

Before sleep, create a simple ritual.

Dim the lights. Sit in stillness. Reflect.

Ask: Where was I present today? Where did I drift? Where did I choose kindness?

This isn’t self-criticism—it’s self-witnessing.

When we examine our day with compassion, we grow in awareness. We recognize patterns. We plant seeds of change.

And in doing so, sleep becomes a sacred act—not escape, but integration.

You don’t need a monastery.

You just need a quiet moment. And yourself, fully there.

Peace and Love, Jim
