Some people have a mistaken idea that all thoughts disappear through meditation and we enter a state of blankness. There certainly are times of great tranquility when concentration is strong and we have few, if any, thoughts. But other times, we can be flooded with memories, plans or random thinking. It's important not to blame yourself.

To relinquish the futile effort to control change is one of the strengthening forces of true detachment & thus true love.

Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others

Compassion grows in us when we know how the energy of love is available all around us.

When you're wide open, the world is a good place.

To reteach a thing its loveliness is the nature of metta. Through lovingkindness, everyone & everything can flower again from within.

Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope - a slight change, and all patterns alter.
