In the Sangha, you can feel the collective energy supporting your practice. You can feel the Sangha carrying you like a strong hand holding a fragile leaf. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Renewal
The Interplay of Returning and Becoming
Welcome to the May 2025 edition of VOICES, RIM's community magazine. This issue features creative expressions, heartfelt personal stories, and event news that showcase the spirit of our Dharma community. 
 
May these stories of lived experiences from our RIM Sangha remind us that we are each called to return to our deeper values in our process of Becoming, a renewal of our commitment to transform ourselves and the world. 
 
In a recent poetic teaching, Jesse Foy guides us: To heed this call is not to reject where you’ve been. Your path has led you here. Jesse reminds us that mindful living is not a journey of grand gestures. It is a practice—a steady unfolding.

The Harmony of Nature and Our Practice
by Jesse Foy
 
The forest does not ask you to come
The river does not wait for you to listen.
Yet when you do, an understanding arises—
a remembering, as if reconnecting to a natural truth
illuminating the essence of who you are - right now.
