If the “I” in you doesn’t want to be here,
What is it that causes you to stay?
Loving Kindness or Other
There are only two conditions: LOVING KINDNESS and OTHER. To work for peace, you must have a peaceful heart. To preserve peace, our hearts must be at peace with the world, with our brothers and our sisters. Trying to overcome damage with damage is not the way to make peace ...
Want
Wanting something is quite different than believing our happiness has anything to do with that person, place or thing. Happiness exists only as a place to come from, not to get to. The moment I believe I cannot live without it, have I not just become dependent? ...
Capacity
The Dalai Lama has said that “compassion occurs only between equals.” The capacity for everything resides within each of us. The moment I have the thought that I am "better than, smarter than or more important than, my ability to be of actual use is gone." Will I look today ...
Goodness
See and observe those who approach each person with love, kindness and compassion. Perhaps our greatest service is simply to find ways to strengthen and live closer to our goodness. This is far from easy. It requires an everyday attention, an awareness of all that diminishes us, distracts us, and ...
Within You, AND the Person Next to You!
The power to repair the world is already in you. When someone blesses you, it reminds you a little – untying the knots of belief and fear and self-doubt that have separated you from your own goodness. Freeing you to bless and receive blessings from everything around you. From the ...
Personally
Nelson Mandela, “As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.” To whom do you think Nelson Mandela was speaking? ...
Confusion; Really?
"These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.” Anthony de Mello Any Questions? ...
Conundrum
"A World That Works for Everyone" creates a conundrum for most people. If we believe it can be created, we might be considered wide-eyed and impractical. Really. If we believe it is impossible, doesn't that mean we are acknowledging that we are incapable of taking care of our family and ...
Allow
Allow us to be present to one and other. Encourage us to be present enough to know when silent support is all that is wanted and needed. Allow us to know when what we want is irrelevant. Allow us to know that the gift of love is always the foundation ...
Simplicity
Who have we loved today? To whom have we contributed our time, energy and/or money? Is it clear to us that every thing we do counts? The only question is will it be a contribution or a detriment? ...

What is the most magical thing you will see, hear, touch, or experience today?
Can you see that there is no possible way to know what that will be other than to stay as present as you can be in this moment?

From the heart of Grace M. Smith
Have you ever noticed when your friends or children are overworked, up too late with homework, sleepy or achy, thirsty,hungry or in need of a truly loving presence or listening ear, you respond with either an offer of a glass of water, some food, a walk or a pillow to ease the physical ache, a kind suggestion to get some sleep, finish stuff up tomorrow or a loving listening ear regarding their situation?
How would it be if you treated yourself with the same wonderful degree of loving-kindness?
