- Listen to our intuition and allow our heart to direct itself
- How to living in happiness and joy, and bring loving kindness to all we touch
“Extend the feeling of loving kindness across the world, to those in difficulty, the families the children who are fleeing danger in so many places—Myanmar, Sudan, Ukraine, Gaza, Palestine, Israel—across the world. You picture them—the families the children—and send rays of love, metta, and strength, ‘May you be safe and protected, may you find ease and graciousness, may you be held in loving kindness, and in whatever ways you can, may you be happy.’” – Jack Kornfield
