Jack Kornfield and Sylvia Boorstein explore meeting each moment with loving awareness, embracing aging and impermanence, and rediscovering human connection through simple expressions of generosity and love.
“The deepest response to it is to love it, because it’s what we’ve got.” – Jack Kornfield
This week on Heart Wisdom, Jack Kornfield and Sylvia Boorstein explore:
- Meeting each moment fully and as a friend by relaxing the body, quieting reactivity, and responding kindly to whatever arises
- Sylvia’s honest and humorous reflections on aging, mortality, losing independence, and adapting to life in a senior living community
- Working skillfully with crankiness, fear, and loneliness
- How small acts of generosity—sharing food, holding a stranger’s hand, or simply noticing another person—can restore connection
- Bringing mindfulness and loving-kindness together while remaining amazed by life’s impermanence
- Recognizing love as our deepest response to being alive
