We are all too often told by someone that we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same, and those comments can be devastating.

I've always said that lovingkindness and compassion are inevitably woven throughout meditation practice even if the words are never used or implied, no matter what technique or method we are using.

There is no 'thing' to let go of, but a concept, an idea of an ego that burdens us. As soon as we posit a 'thing' to let go of, we're in trouble. We need to change our view of reality, not attack a nonexistent entity.

You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine

With attachment all that seems to exist is just me & that object I desire.

Loving-kindness and compassion are the basis for wise, powerful, sometimes gentle, and sometimes fierce actions that can really make a difference - in our own lives and those of others.

Fearful of wasting a second, we hoard time as if it were money.
