Today’s Dharma Talk was given by lay speaker Jennifer Kane. She shared experiencing the “shoulds” (“I should have…”) just 19 days into the new year. Jennifer read to us the story of Freddie the Leaf. Freddie, and his neighboring leaves, experience the changing seasons until they all finally fall to the ground during the winter’s snow. Their journey is a lesson in impermanence and a reminder of the temporary nature of human life.
