Everything we love goes. So to be able to grieve that loss, to let go, to have that grief be absolutely full, is the only way to have our heart be full and open.

Even a few moments of offering lovingkindness can reconnect you with the purity of your loving heart.

It may sound lovey-dovey, but there's research showing the positive effect of meditation on parts of the brain that control emotion.

What would it be like if, right in the midst of this busyness, we were to consciously take our hands off the controls? What if we were to intentionally stop our mental computations and our rushing around and, for a minute or two, simply pause and notice our inner experience?

I don't believe I'm bad, and I do believe I'm good.

Telling each other the truth and being who we are, and having space for the other person's vulnerability in being who they are, allows us to move in a kind of dance together that's very fluid and graceful.

We are waiting for the next moment to contain what this moment does not.
