In late February, we sent a 3-question survey to regular Mindful News readers.
A great many of you replied. Thank you so much! We’re thrilled and honored by the results!!!
I heard this expression somewhere recently, and immediately switched: no news before noon.
It’s perfect.

My dear friend Meleia gifted me a magical weekend in New York last weekend to see the Ruth Asawa Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art! (Thank you, darling!!!!)
Paris. September 2025
I’m grateful for the amazing new and back list books I read and relished this year, and my two book clubs—the Rockledge Readers (thank you, darlings!), my book club of 2 (best friends forever!)—plus tiny libraries in the neighborhood, and my public library, which provides SO much joy!
Rebecca Hines shared the following parable in class this week:
A Zen monk asked his students, If you’re carrying a cup of coffee and someone bumps into you, why did you spill the coffee?
All the students answered because someone bumped into me. But he said, No. You spilled the coffee because coffee was in your cup. If you’d had water in your cup, you would have spilled water. If tea was in your cup, then you would have spilled tea.
