Metta…
~ Metta Prayer ~
May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings awaken to
the light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.

know who you are…
in the thick of things, the darkness and difficulty, don’t forget who you are. you are Love, luminous and open.meet life with empathy, with compassion, and the steady, purposeful, and unshakable strength that comes from being grounded in Love.

[…if you want a master class in what happens when we allow our wounds to close up and drag us into a bitter anger, and then what happens when this is met with empathy, compassion, and courage, watch the end scenes of Moana. be a healer. meet life with empathy, compassion and courage grounded in Love.]
an island of calm…
cannot stop the Spring…
You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep Spring from coming.
~ Pablo Neruda
friends ~
love is the spring. your open heart and your love, have the power to awaken this world. so, center yourself in openness and love no matter the outside forces, moving forward with empathy and compassion, working to lessen the suffering in the world.

here, in service…
perhaps we are here
simply to bear witness
to the world
her
suffering and joy
all the while reminding her
in the thickness of morning
and
the surrender into night
she is beautiful
and
she is loved.

see yourself in others…
be kind, always…
in awareness, we love…
the kindness that transcends…
it seems, we may need this now more than ever. so much going on that encourages division, that encourages anger and aggression, that encourages the dismissing of individuals as well as whole groups of people.
the good news is that this kindness that transcends is always available, right here, right now in your very own heart.
