What one thought of kindness can I offer to this world today? What one act of kindness can I offer to those I encounter along the way today? If I were to choose to resonate with qualities of kindness today, what might change in my thinking, perceptions, and overall experience? What if I were to orient, again and again, to the frequency of kindness today, allowing it to be the filter through which I perceive my world, and seek to embody it in all my actions?

…I know that there is a deeper truth to our journey together with the Earth, a truth older than any belief or ideology, and far from the discords of today. It does not offer a solution to today’s problems, because it is too simple and radical. It is a doorway into a way of being with each other and the Earth that carries the secrets of our shared existence, where we are a part of a living tapestry that stretches to the stars and beyond. And it is here, all around us, present in the most ordinary things.

We are each unique expressions of the one Reality, dwelling in the family of all beings. Our discipline in life is to cooperate with the way the infinite Reality wants to express through us. That is how we take up our rightful place.

May you recognize in your life the presence,
power, and light of your soul.
May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging
connects you intimately with the rhythm of
the universe.
May you have respect for your individuality
and difference.
May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique,
that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the façade of your life,
there is something beautiful and eternal happening.
~ John O’Donohue

When you are grateful, you know that you belong to a network of give-and-take and you say “yes” to that belonging. This “yes” is the essence of love.

A core teaching of the Buddha was how our perceptions shape our reality. Your mind will believe whatever you tell it is true. If you fill your mind with anger or fear, this becomes your truth. Fill your mind with love and gratitude, that becomes your truth. What we believe shapes the experiences we have and share with the world.

The idea of the universe as an interconnected whole is not new; for millennia it’s been one of the core assumptions of Eastern philosophies. What is new is that Western science is slowly beginning to realize that some elements of that ancient lore might be correct.
