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

If you’re reading these words, perhaps it’s because something has kicked open the door for you, and you’re ready to embrace change. It isn’t enough to appreciate change from afar, or only in the abstract, or as something that can happen to other people but not to you. We need to create change for ourselves, in a workable way, as part of our everyday lives.

Doing nothing means unplugging from the compulsion to always keep ourselves busy, the habit of shielding ourselves from certain feelings, the tension of trying to manipulate our experience before we even fully acknowledge what that experience is.

We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.

People turn to meditation because they want to make good decisions, break bad habits & bounce back better from disappointments.

Meditation isn’t about what’s happening; it’s about how you relate to what’s happening.

Mindfulness allows us to watch our thoughts, see how one thought leads to the next, decide if we're heading down an unhealthy path, and, if so, let go and change directions.
