Dear friends,

When the world breaks your heart, don’t dismiss or numb it. (Even though it’s tempting to do so.)
Instead: Notice.
Observe how it feels in your body. Take a softer breath and stay with it for awhile. For after all, the world is bittersweet. We do not get one half without the other.

And then… choose to look for the beauty.
Look for the places where good is actively happening.

Look for the helpers.
Be a helper.

Express love, or anger, or hope, or creativity.
Create art.
Dance.
Play.

Have your neighbor over for dinner.
Snuggle with your furry beloveds.
Plant something that grows in the dirt.
Hug a tree.
Observe the life of birds.

Or rest your weary heart…

Nothing lasts forever. Not this moment in history, not the perfect bloom of a daisy, and not this, your precious life.

Seek out that which will bring you some meaning, some peace, some resilience… to balance the bitter with the sweet.

Om shanti, shanti, shanti // Universal peace, peace, peace ~
